Larry Talley's Dayani Experience

 “I want to share with you my experiences at the Vanderbilt Dayani Center. I started the pulmonary rehab program with a difficult to manage asthma and shortness of breath problem. After a few months of various exercise regimen and classes, I can now better manage my shortness of breath and asthma. My heath has improved to where I am able to live a more complete life. This would not have been possible without the caring and knowledgeable staff at the Dayani center. The combination of this and the other great people you meet was very crucial in my taking control of my illness.” ~ Larry Talley
