Pulmonary Function Test
Smoking Cessation
Pulmonary Function TestA test designed to measure how well the lungs are working. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) gauge how the lungs are carrying out their tasks -- of expanding and contracting (when a person inhales and exhales) and of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently between the air (or other gases) within the lungs and the blood. BronchoscopyBronchoscopy is a procedure that allows the physician to directly visualize the interior passageways of the lower respiratory tract through a bronchoscope (a long, narrow, fiberoptic, lighted tube inserted through the nose or mouth). With the bronchoscope, the physician can see the larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), bronchi (large airways to the lungs), and bronchioles (smaller branches of the bronchi). Smoking CessationUsing individualized medical assessment, strategies and health tips, this program helps people identify and reach their goals to stop using tobacco. Outpatient Rehabilitation ServicesOutpatient rehabilitation services include Physical Therapy, Occupational and Hand Therapy, Psychology, Speech Pathology, Audiology and Nursing. Home Health ServicesWe offer a variety of services for patients to receive care in the comfort of their own homes. |
