INSPIRING STORIES

COPD CARE IN SASKATCHEWAN

My grandfather died of what we now know to be chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), although his diagnosis was emphysema and related lung health issues.

He grew up on a farm in rural Manitoba and was exposed to different chemicals and second-hand smoke. COPD damages the lungs and causes them to become swollen or partly blocked.

When I was asked to work with Lung Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority on the qualitative aspect of a research study titled ‘Care Pathways Analytics: Integrating patient-centered outcomes in economic evaluations of care pathways in Saskatchewan’, I felt a personal connection.
