Respiratory Care
Woodbine offers a dedicated unit for complete respiratory care. It is designed to help respiratory patients that require the use of a ventilator or tracheostomy and are in need of long-term, chronic and/or hospice care to achieve the highest level of independence possible. Led by a medical director who is a pulmonary specialist, our respiratory team of critical care physicians, nurses and skilled rehab and respiratory therapists provide Woodbine patients with around-the-clock care in what has become the region’s largest and most progressive respiratory center of its kind. State-of-the art equipment and services make it possible for some of our patients to move freely about the building, speak, eat solid food and even go on outings in our specially equipped van.
