Respiratory Care

Relax. Take a deep breath. Be grateful that you can.

For those who can’t, the Lake Region Healthcare (LRH) Respiratory Care team has specially trained caregivers who will help patients living with breathing problems.

The Respiratory Care team quickly helps physicians make a diagnosis using tests to measure lung capacity, heart rhythm, brain wave function and sleep abnormalities and making oxygen and lung assessments.

Respiratory Care can be available outside the hospital through Lake Region's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. To be eligible to participate in this program, you need a physician’s approval.

A pulmonary rehab program helps you improve your breathing and overall health. The program you enter will be tailored to your specific needs. The program often includes the following services:

  • Exercise classes that are supervised and monitored.
  • Support groups where you can learn from other people with breathing problems.
  • Breathing techniques that help reduce shortness of breath.
  • Education about proper nutrition.

The pulmonary rehab program is located in the Lifestyle Center across from the LRH campus. The center offers a warm and inviting atmosphere where you can get some exercise and visit with other patients in the program.

The purpose of the pulmonary rehab program is to improve your quality of life.
