Respiratory Therapy

The Respiratory Therapy department offers a full line of cardiopulmonary services. Our Respiratory Therapists are a healthcare specialty that provides diagnostic evaluation, management, education, rehabilitation, and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system, ranging from premature infants to the elderly. The Respiratory Therapy staff treats patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We work with SRMC health care providers and visiting Cardiologists and Pulmonologists to provide optimum care. The Respiratory Therapists are active members of the trauma and cardiopulmonary arrest team.
