Cardio-Pulmonary Services

Cardio-Pulmonary Services focus upon the diagnostic and rehabilitation healthcare needs of patients with respiratory and cardiac healthcare problems. These services are provided on an inpatient or outpatient basis by a Certified Respiratory Therapist who is state licensed and board certified concerning the delivery of respiratory therapy services. The Therapist has specific knowledge concerning the rules, regulations and laws, which govern the operation of these services. The Cardio-Pulmonary Department is staffed from 6:00 a.m. until 12:00 midnight and then has a therapist on-call.
