WE CAN HELP WITH TREATMENT
Treatment for lung conditions varies according to each patient’s particular condition. Pulmonary physicians at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Cetner recognize this and offer a full range of treatment options, based on the individual needs of each patient. We understand that the best treatment is delivered as a continuum of care -- encompassing prevention, treatment and education and extending into a patient's home in some cases.
The overarching goal of the pulmonary care treatment programs is to restore a patient’s health, while empowering him or her to manage or prevent a worsening or return of the problem. To achieve this goal, our doctors may recommend medical treatment, which will minimize disability, prevent acute episodes, and reduce the chances of future hospitalization. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs, for which we provide referrals, along with medical treatment, have also proven useful with many patients.
