    • High-quality care close to home: We offer advanced testing, leading treatments, and supportive care – all conveniently close to home.
    • A personalized approach to your care: Our team listens to you, discusses treatment decision-making, and follows you carefully throughout your journey of care. We welcome your family members to join our conversations and take the time to answer your questions and phone calls.
    • Quick, comprehensive care: As part of Prime Healthcare System, our team has access to many other medical specialists for consultations when needed. This ensures our patients receive a prompt diagnosis and a more thorough treatment plan.

    • monitoring and managing therapy to help a patient improve their lung functionality
    • administering medication in aerosol (spray) form to help alleviate breathing complications and prevent respiratory infections
    • maintaining a patient’s artificial airway, which may be in place to help when a patient cannot breathe on their own
    • educating the patient and their families about respiratory illnesses or diseases, including the process and treatments the physician prescribes to treat it
