Continuum of care for cardiac and pulmonary diseases
The Better Breathing Clinic is staffed by a board-certified registered nurse practitioner, who acts as an extension of your local healthcare provider. Our nurse practitioners are overseen by physicians trained in pulmonology, internal medicine and cardiac care.
The goal of these cardiopulmonary care practitioners is to aid you in the transition from an inpatient hospital stay to outpatient follow-up care. This allows us to reevaluate and monitor your condition following discharge to determine if additional treatment, education or services are required.
We are also available to help you if you have not had an inpatient hospital stay but require assistance in managing your symptoms. You are welcome to talk with your primary care provider, cardiologist or pulmonologist if you need a referral to our clinic.
