COPD in Kentucky | Fighting to Breathe | KET

In this clip from KET's Fighting to Breathe series, we focus on high rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Kentucky. Dr. Chaitanya Mandapakala, a pulmonologist at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, explains how COPD impacts the lungs. We also visit a pulmonary rehab center at St. Elizabeth and hear patients' stories about improving respiratory function.
