Respiratory Services

The health of your lungs and respiratory tract are crucial to your overall health. According to the National Institute of Health, more than 30 million Americans are living with chronic lung diseases and pulmonary disorders.

Patients undergoing emergency care, inpatient care or outpatient testing may benefit from respiratory services at Desert View Hospital, administered by a licensed respiratory therapist. All tests require a physician’s order and some tests may require pre-authorization from your insurance company.
