About this clinic

The Respiratory Education Centre consists of a health care team from many different health areas. It includes your primary care provider, a respirologist and respiratory therapist/certified educator. The goal of the centre is to help you gain the knowledge and skills required to manage your asthma or COPD. You will receive individual counselling, asthma or COPD management education and a tailored treatment plan. This can help your health condition stabilize, optimize your quality of life and prevent exacerbations.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.
