Dear Doctor: This site can help you

Dear Doctor,

Hi, I am Kelly Welton, founder of COPD Success. Before I blather on about all my degrees and experience, I want to tell you WHY I started this business. I’ve been doing Pulmonary Rehab for about 15 years, graduating 6 patients every 6 weeks. That’s 48 people every year that can get out, do more, resume doing the things they love. All of my graduates say the same thing: It helped tremendously, they loved the program, they got their life back- some of them got off of oxygen, some got rid of their wheelchairs. But it dawned on me: 48 patients a year is but a fraction of the number of people who have COPD and Asthma.

I should be graduating 48 HUNDRED people a year. Determined, I climbed up the internet learning curve and after almost 6 years of work, (with major help of course!) I built this site for YOU and your patients.

If you wish to subscribe, read my blog, and peruse the site, I promise you will learn a lot.

If you or your patients become a full member, they will reap the full benefits of the information, education modules, AND a guided exercise program to do safely at their pace. Plus monthly calls, motivation, and a full year’s access to the program for continued progress and success!

Another reason I built this business: Pulmonary Rehabilitation has been proven to decrease breathlessness, and increase endurance and strength. But not everyone has access to Pulmonary Rehab programs. Pulmonary Rehab is generally offered at major medical centers. Insurance or Medicare usually pays. But what if your patients live too far to travel to Pulmonary Rehab 3 days a week? What if the co-pay per visit is too high? What if their insurance doesn’t cover Pulmonary Rehab? Or they’ve already previously used up your Pulmonary Rehab benefits? Or they are still working, or, most commonly, they no longer drive and transportation is an issue? I built this business for those exact patients.

I had a vision, where everyone with lung disease could safely and affordibly improve their health, one step at a time.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, get comfy,  snoop around the site, and enjoy.

Can you think of at least 10 patients of yours who, despite your having a PR program right there at your medical center, just can’t make it to class 3 days a week?

If  you would like more information, please let me know either by phone or e mail. Better yet, go ahead and register at www.TheBreathingSpecialist.com  You can also communicate with me via my Facebook page, www.facebook.com/COPDSuccess

 

Love and Blessings,

Testimonials

“The last thing I wanted to do was go out in public with my oxygen. Once I learned how to use it correctly, and what my options were for portable oxygen, I am now confident and able to go out all day and do what I want”.
