Repiratory Therapy | Cardiopulmonary Care

Memorial Hospital offers a wide range of respiratory and cardiopulmonary therapy services—including diagnostics, treatment and education. Our goal is to help people in our local community live their healthiest life possible.

Our respiratory therapists, in collaboration with each patient's medical team, participate in patient assessments, make appropriate clinical decisions and modify care according to evidence based clinical protocols. They are part of a skilled inter-disciplinary team dedicated to high quality patient care with a focus on treating people with health care issues affecting the cardiopulmonary system such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, cardiovascular disorders and trauma. Our respiratory therapists are board-certified in respiratory therapy and many hold additional certifications and training.
