Respiratory Care

Specialty Areas

Respiratory (breathing) care tends to the health of your cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) function. Your heart and lungs are closely connected. They work together to deliver oxygen to all parts of your body.

You’ll receive respiratory care from licensed and trained professionals called respiratory therapists. Respiratory therapists work as part of your health care team to provide cardiopulmonary and critical care services. They specialize in diagnosing, treating and preventing heart and lung problems.
