Better Breathing — Better Living … Let Us Show You How!

Respiratory care is one of the newest and fastest growing of the allied health professions. Originally called "inhalation therapy," the profession of respiratory care began in the late 1940s. Technology in the profession has improved and expanded dramatically over the past 30 years, helping therapists to more effectively evaluate, treat and manage deficiencies and abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system.

At Seton Medical Center, our respiratory care practitioners provide a full range of services, including treatment, evaluation, monitoring, and management of patients with cardiovascular system or breathing problems. We provide skilled assessment and treatment of pulmonary disorders. Our respiratory care practitioners offer compassion and care to their patients because we believe Caring is Powerful Medicine.
