Respiratory Care

One in 10 Americans has a lung disorder including asthma, emphysema, and lung disease. At Winter Park Memorial Hospital we not only assess and treat patients using the latest therapies and medications, but we function as educators and teachers, helping patients with compromised cardiopulmonary systems take the necessary steps to prevent further or recurring illness. This dedication to our patients is the focus of every member of our Respiratory Care Department, and part of Florida Hospital's faith-based care mission that encompasses not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well. We offer a full spectrum of respiratory services including:

  • Breathing exercises
  • Bronchodilator therapy
  • Bronchial clearance therapy
  • Pulmonary function studies and screens
  • Noninvasive ventilation
  • Invasive ventilation
  • Emergency Department respiratory care

The Respiratory Care Department at Winter Park Memorial Hospital is available to our hospital patients around the clock, providing the kind of compassionate, professional care that really makes a difference.
