Respiratory therapists at The Richland Hospital and Clinics provide expert care for patients of all ages, from newborns to those with complex chronic lung conditions. Their expertise in ventilator management, oxygen therapy, CPAP and BiPAP treatment, and other specialized respiratory services help improve quality of life and saves lives every day.
Through robust inpatient and outpatient practice, the team serves patients across the community. Outpatient services include home sleep apnea testing, pulmonary function testing, overnight oximetry to assess oxygen levels, ABI testing to evaluate blood flow to the extremities, and stress testing. When a primary care provider identifies a respiratory concern, patients are referred to the respiratory therapy team for further evaluation and care.
The respiratory therapy team also works closely with pulmonologists who travel from Madison, ensuring patients have convenient access to specialized respiratory care close to home and reducing the need to travel for appointments and follow-up services.
In addition to supporting patients through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, respiratory therapists provide comfort and dignity to individuals facing end-stage lung conditions, whether they are receiving care in the hospital or transitioning home with hospice services.
