About the Team

Breathing is one of the most essential functions of life, so any disease that diminishes the effectiveness of the lungs should be taken seriously. At the Atlantic Respiratory Institute, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments for a variety of respiratory conditions. Because so much of the human body relies on oxygen, a multidisciplinary approach is essential to treating respiratory conditions. Our center of excellence's pulmonary specialists, thoracic surgeons and critical care specialists regularly collaborate with experts in allergens, cardiology, otolaryngology, endocrinology, neurology, oncology, radiology, and pediatrics. Additional support is provided by a team of care managers, clinical nurse specialists, clinical social workers, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, physical therapists, respiratory care practitioners, registered nurses, registered pulmonary function technologists and registered sleep technologists. A nurse navigator offers individualized attention and support and coordinates the transition of pulmonary care from the hospital to an outpatient setting.
