The Respiratory Therapy department serves patients by assisting them with education and various treatments in order to lessen breathing difficulties.

The Pulmonary Function testing laboratory and the tests performed in the laboratory serve many purposes:

1. To test the amount of air that can be moved in and out of the lungs.
2. To test how fast the air can be moved in and out of the lungs.
3. To act as a screening tool prior to surgery.
