If you were unable to attend the US COPD Coalition’s webinar, “Supplemental Oxygen Systems”, which was broadcast live on November 22, 2019, you can now view it in its entirety. This special webinar was devoted to addressing questions and concerns that were submitted as part of our October webinar on supplemental oxygen (you can view the October webinar here). During the October webinar, were fortunate to have representatives from Medicare review coverage policy and clarify misconceptions. The November 22nd webinar consisted of a panel including a pulmonologist, a pulmonary rehabilitation nurse, and a patient. The panel was moderated by a respiratory therapist.

Jerry Krishnan, MD, PhD – Associate Vice Chancellor, Population Health Sciences Program; Executive Director, Institute for Healthcare Delivery Design; Professor of Medicine & Public Health ~ University of Illinois at Chicago
