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.

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
