Respiratory Services
The Respiratory Therapy Department at Cornerstone Regional Hospital is unique in that there are not different levels of therapists for job roles. Instead, the same therapist who does the initial screening or function testing could be the same therapist who sets up the ventilator and manages the patient from extubation to post-operation routine therapy.
Unlike other hospitals, many of our patients know us on a first name basis and are at ease when we approach them postoperatively for therapy because we have already established a relationship before surgery. Respiratory therapists at Cornerstone Regional Hospital are involved in all aspects of our patients’ care.
Respiratory therapists treat patients with disease processes such as:
- Asthma
- Emphysema
- Bronchitis
- Sarcoidosis
- Pneumonia
- Sleeping Disorders
Our team of respiratory care therapists aim for the highest standard of excellence by using the advanced equipment to best treat pulmonary disorders. Numerous tests, procedures and services are available.
