RESPIRATORY AND PULMONARY SERVICES | RAMBO MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is designed to help you reduce the impact of respiratory illness by helping to control or reduce breathlessness, and recondition the body so that you feel less short of breath. Key components include: - Assess & Monitor the Disease - Increase Stamina Through Exercise - Reduce Risk Factors (Tobacco Cessation) - Manage Stable Disease - Manage Exacerbations - Medication Assistance - Patient Education - Home Visits. Respiratory Disease Management Program strives to educate individuals on how to live better with Lung Disease. Key Components of the Disease Management Program include education on the most common cause of respiratory disease (smoking), along with other factors/environment that may lead to the development of respiratory disease. Rambo can help individuals with home respiratory equipment such as oxygen concentrators, mini e-tanks, and nebulizers with an order from your physician. If you do not have a physician, an appointment will be made with our Clinic Medical Director. A clinic nurse or respiratory therapist will do a home visit on anyone who has equipment placed in their home. A report of the visit will be kept in our Clinic records, and we can also provide a copy to the patient's physician for their records, upon request. Pulmonary Function Tests are performed upon the request of an individual's personal physician, our Clinic's Medical Director, or upon request of the patient. Individuals are counseled on the results and referred to their primary care physician for any additional care they may need. Chest x-rays are performed with an order from an individual's personal physician, or our Clinic's Medical Director. Individuals found to have possible lung problems are referred to their personal physician for care. Individuals with respiratory problems, who have no personal physician or are unable to pay for medical services, may receive treatment from our Clinic's Medical Director. Home visits are available for tuberculosis and respiratory patients. For complete homebound patients, home visits are available including, flu and pneumonia vaccines, medication assistance, air conditioner and respiratory equipment (with a physician's order). Curb-side service is available for some services at the clinic for those persons unable to walk into the clinic. Also offers educational material about the respiratory system and various breathing problems.
