Breathing Easier

Thompson Health now offers more services for

those dealing with issues related to the lungs and
respiratory system. As of last August, pulmonologists

treat inpatients at Thompson Hospital. Considered a
natural step in the evolution of improving local, in-

hospital services through the UR Medicine afiliation,

this enhancement in services also involves inpatient
consultations available through on-call pulmonologists

at Strong Memorial Hospital. In addition, having

pulmonologists on site on a regular basis means more
outpatient diagnostic procedures can be performed

at Thompson, and patients enrolled in Thompson’s
Pulmonary Disease Management Program can have

more contact with these physicians.
