BreatheWell: Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Breathe Easier. Live Better.

Pavilion Rehabilitation Center is proud to launch BreatheWell, a cutting-edge Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program dedicated to helping individuals with respiratory conditions regain strength, breathe more comfortably, and improve their overall quality of life. As the only post- acute facility on Cape Cod using advanced pulmonary diagnostic software, we are setting a new standard in respiratory care.

 

Our Clinical Leadership & Expertise

Our program is supported by a highly experienced interdisciplinary team led by consulting Pulmonologist Dr. Timothy W. Herrick, MD, FCCP, board-certified in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, with clinical privileges at Cape Cod Hospital. Dr. Herrick brings over two decades of pulmonary expertise to our patients. He works alongside:

  • On-site Respiratory Therapist

  • Specialized nursing staff trained in respiratory protocols

  • Licensed physical and occupational therapists

  • Case managers and nutritionists contributing to holistic care

 

Advanced Technology That Sets Us Apart

Pavilion is the only rehabilitation center on Cape Cod offering the ACPlus Respiratory Assessment (ARA) — a proactive software tool designed to detect pulmonary dysfunction early.

  • The ARA uses a spiroette (similar to a spirometer) to measure lung function and identify residents who may benefit from early intervention, even before symptoms escalate.

  • This early identification tool supports data-driven care planning, helping prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and optimize rehab outcomes.

 Also featured in our program:

OmniFlow® Biofeedback Respiratory Therapy

A virtual reality-powered system that makes breathing exercises more engaging and effective.

  • Tracks inspiratory and expiratory performance

  • Encourages deep, controlled breathing

  • Uses interactive games to boost motivation and compliance

  • Enhances breath control, endurance, and lung strength
