Kristen and I are working on an event to be held next month where we will have a group of healthcare professionals gathered to discuss COPD hospital readmissions - well, more specifically how to prevent those readmissions. We would love to be able to share some of your personal stories of how you would describe your experience as you are discharged from the hospital and sent home or skilled nursing home. That is often a difficult transition, especially after lengthy hospital stays, intubation, newly prescribed oxygen, or other changes to what was normal before. Would you be interested in sharing your story with us in writing? You could remain anonymous if you would prefer - no need to mention names if you don't want us to. If you are interested and so inclined you can put your story here for others to see, or put it in an email to me at swilliams@copdfoundation.org
