New pulmonary function testing and equipment are now available at Fredonia Regional Hospital.
Fredonia Regional Hospital respiratory therapists work with physicians and nurses to provide individualized treatment for patients with lung conditions or diseases. Respiratory Therapy staff work towards increasing a patient's ability to return to normal activity without breathing difficulties or problems.
Working alongside a patient's physicians and nurses allows the know-how of Respiratory Therapy to combine with the expertise of those in direct contact with the patient, easing the difficulty of being admitted to the hospital.
Caring, nurturing respiratory therapy staff aim for patient comfort, patient satisfaction and, most of all, a hand in improving patients' quality of life.
