Remembering Leonard Nimoy is a loving and very personal tribute to the life and career of Leonard Nimoy, the prolific actor and director who is best known for playing Mr. Spock in Star Trek. Produced and directed by his daughter Julie Nimoy and son-in-law David Knight, the new documentary is a film that honors the late Star Trek actor’s life, career and struggle with COPD and emphysema.
Join us for a live screening of the Remembering Leonard Nimoy documentary.
“You’ll have the opportunity to listen to experts discuss the latest treatment options like the Zephyr Valves. As Mr. Spock would say, ‘May you all live long, and prosper.'”

Could do more exercise and walk farther
Could do more daily life activities, such as walking, bathing, and gardening
Enjoyed a better quality of life with more energy
Felt more confident leaving their home
Risks
Complications of the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve treatment can include but are not limited to pneumothorax, worsening of COPD symptoms, hemoptysis, pneumonia, dyspnea and, in rare cases, death.1
