Carl King Award
Renee has also been doing Pulmonary Rehab for nearly 20 years. Renee’s major strength is Education for the Pulmonary patient. Every patient that comes through the Pulmonary Rehab at Mission Hospital is amazed by the depth of the Education they receive. The patients are astounded by what they had not known for so long. Patients leave our Rehab stronger physically, but just as important they leave educated and ready to move forward with their pulmonary disease. A great part of this is because of the work that Renee has done with our program.
