The Valley Hospital is now open at 4 Valley Health Plaza in Paramus. (You may need to use 650 Winters Avenue for GPS.) All emergency care is now being provided at this location. Emergency care is no longer available at our Ridgewood campus.
Valley offers the Better Breathers Club support group to all members of the community who have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other similar disease processes.
This support group offers a safe space where patients can talk openly about their feelings related to their condition. The group is designed to offer support, reduce stress and anxiety, decrease isolation, increase coping mechanisms and provide education about treatment options.
Family members and friends of group participants are invited to quarterly meetings and can expect to gain insight into their loved one's journey with COPD, as well as learn effective ways to help themselves and their loved one cope with the condition.
Better Breathers Club meetings are held Mondays at 12 p.m. virtually. Call 201-447-8673 or email [email protected] for upcoming meeting dates.
