Well Aware for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Outsmart Your COPD

Knowing how Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects your breathing is vital to improving your overall health. The CIGNA Well Aware for Better Health^® program for COPD helps you improve your breathing, and supports your doctor's treatment plan by helping you:

understand the benefits of quitting smoking
learn more about your type of COPD
identify and avoid your own triggers, whether it's dust, dander, smoke or other irritants
recognize your own symptoms, such as waking up at night or coughing
know when to contact your doctor

The personalized support you deserve.

The Well Aware Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease program was developed using nationally recognized resources, such as The American Thoracic Society and the Veterans Health Administration. It was also modeled using the most current research and practices to be up-to-date and clinically effective.

This strong foundation enables us to work with you and your doctor to provide you with personalized support, including:

access to a personal, experienced registered nurse to call for guidance and support
educational material about COPD
periodic self-care tips
reminders of important screenings, tests and exams
a workbook with a personal diary, self-care routines and health tips
