COPD & Asthma Care in Richland, WA

Ongoing care for your breathing, your medications and your check-ins.

Long-Term Care for Two Common Breathing Conditions

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a long-term lung disease that makes it harder to breathe out. Asthma narrows the airways and can flare up with colds, allergies, smoke or exercise.

Both need ongoing care. Tabitha keeps track of how your breathing is doing, keeps your medications and inhalers up to date, and sees you for regular check-ins.
