Patients living with COPD can find themselves in situations like coordinating between pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and oxygen equipment providers while managing varying breathing capabilities. That's physically taxing, frustrating, and can lead to preventable exacerbations or hospitalizations. Solace COPD advocates—doctors, nurses, and medical professionals with specialized respiratory care experience—synchronize treatment approaches across providers, optimize medication and oxygen therapy plans, and connect you with pulmonary rehabilitation resources and support systems, ensuring you maintain the best possible breathing function and quality of life while managing this progressive respiratory condition.

Living with COPD is a challenge, even on good days, and the stress of managing complicated healthcare can make things even harder. Once easy tasks like scheduling appointments and organizing paperwork can suddenly feel like too much to bear.
An advocate can make the calls, manage the appointments, and keep your paperwork organized so you can focus on what matters most: healing.
Treating COPD isn’t a one-doctor job. Your monthly schedule might include visits to a cardiologist, pulmonologist, immunologist, and your primary care physician. Unfortunately, it’s not easy for these doctors and specialists to coordinate or share relevant medical records. This can mean redundant appointments, unnecessary tests, and duplicate procedures.
A Solace advocate can serve as a central point of contact for everyone on your team, keeping your care coordinated and your road to recovery clear.
It’s no secret that medical treatment is expensive, and with an ongoing condition like COPD, the costs add up fast. Your advocate can work with your insurance provider, negotiate medical bills with the hospital, and even help you apply for government grants to lighten your financial load.
