PULMONOLOGY

On-Site Pulmonary Care That Makes a Difference

Alteas Health’s Pulmonary Program is designed to identify, treat, and manage acute and chronic respiratory conditions early, right within the post-acute setting. Our specialized team provides comprehensive pulmonary assessments, ventilator and noninvasive ventilation management, spirometry testing, and individualized treatment plans that improve lung function and reduce readmissions.

Beyond direct patient care, we empower facility staff through hands-on education and ongoing clinical support, building confidence in managing complex pulmonary cases. By combining clinical expertise with a collaborative, on-site approach, Alteas Health helps facilities achieve stronger outcomes and enhance patient comfort and independence.

Advanced On-Site Diagnostics

Spirometry

Our on-site spirometry testing provides accurate insights into lung function, supporting the diagnosis of COPD and other respiratory conditions, enabling timely treatment decisions.

Sleep Studies

On-site sleep studies allow for the evaluation of sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea, without requiring patients to leave the facility. By monitoring sleep patterns and oxygen levels overnight, our team can guide treatment plans to improve overall quality of life for residents.
