Ventilator Care Program

Adjusting to life with respiratory challenges and breathing with the assistance of a ventilator can seem both limiting and overwhelming. That’s why helping every person achieve the best possible quality of life is at the center of our ventilator care program.

From individualized care plans to ongoing support, our multidisciplinary approach is designed to maximize our patients’ functional and psychological capabilities for continued overall improvement in their health and well-being – and to ultimately eliminate the need for mechanical breathing support.
