Respiratory Services

MCN Respiratory Therapists specialize in the assessment and treatment of respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies. These include chronic lung problems (e.g., asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, COPD), and more acute multi-systemic problems originating from other pathological conditions such as heart attacks, stroke, or trauma. Our respiratory therapists are specialists in airway management, mechanical ventilation, and blood acid/base balance. The team works closely with other MCN physicians, nurses, and physical therapists to provide personalized care for each patient.

Our Respiratory Therapy services are available not only for our inpatients, but also on an outpatient basis.

Scheduling An Appointment

Your physician’s office will schedule any appointments for any outpatient respiratory therapy services.

What To Expect

If you are an inpatient, the respiratory therapists will work directly with your physicians in the privacy of your patient room. If you are coming to MCN as an outpatient, please check-in at the main lobby central registration desk.
