HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, October 29, 2024 – Hamilton resident Elizabeth “Betty” Wade had always been active and enjoyed traveling with her husband Bill, until a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) left her oxygen dependent.

“I smoked for over fifty years,” says Betty Wade. “Then, five years ago, I started experiencing shortness of breath, fatigue and a lot of mucus. Then I went to my primary care physician, Arthur Pacia, MD, who diagnosed me with COPD.” Betty then started the pulmonary rehabilitation program at RWJUH Hamilton and saw improvements after just a few sessions. “The staff is wonderful and patient and they answer all my questions. I look forward to my appointments and I cannot recommend this program enough,” Betty added.”
