This month’s meeting will feature Holli Childs, Manager of Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at Piedmont Augusta, presenting “The Role of Pulmonary Rehabilitation.” Holli leads a multidisciplinary team of exercise physiologists, respiratory therapists, and registered nurses dedicated to improving the lives of patients with chronic lung disease. The Piedmont Augusta Pulmonary Rehabilitation team provides individualized exercise training, education, and support to help patients breathe easier, increase endurance, and regain confidence in daily activities.

“Pulmonary rehabilitation is more than exercise—it’s about restoring hope and independence. Watching patients walk back into our program smiling, breathing easier, and living fuller lives reminds us why this work matters so deeply,” said Childs.

Childs and her team take pride in creating a compassionate, motivating environment where progress—no matter how small—is celebrated. Together, they strive to empower every participant to take an active role in their health and quality of life.
