Pulmonary Services

Our pulmonary and sleep services team is now looking for motivated individuals who are excited about helping to launch this new service and about making a difference in the lives of patients.

Our pulmonary and sleep services team provides expert assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for pulmonary and neurological conditions on an individual basis. Scope of care includes respiratory care, pulmonary diagnostic services, pulmonary rehabilitation and EEG. In addition, the accredited RMH Center for Sleep Medicine provides evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of disorders that occur during sleep—as well as disorders that affect alertness—in a comfortable, state-of-the-art facility. Our department, which currently employs 28 full-time staff members, practices according to evidence-based protocols approved by our four board-certified pulmonary physicians. Our financial benchmarks are better than fifty percent of those in our comparison group.

RMH currently has two cardiac catheterization labs where diagnostic cardiac catheterizations, cardiac and vascular interventions, and permanent cardiac pacemaker implants are performed. Our cardiologists are actively recruiting for an EP physician to join our heart and vascular team. RMH recently purchased a 64-slice CT scanning system and intends to augment its diagnostic imaging services by implementing cardiac CT this year.

Our IT department has supported our drive for technology by developing a Citrix deployed environment that provides clinicians with web access to images and clinical documentation from remote locations. Several of our ORs are equipped with voice activated video equipment, and our new open heart OR will offer technology that supports access to clinical images, electronic medical records and bedside charting. Evaluations for a cardiovascular information system will begin in mid 2007, and we anticipate the need for a third cardiac catheterization lab prior to moving to our new hospital in 2009.

We are excited about our hospital’s future, and we are looking forward to meeting clinicians who want to partner with us to create an outstanding Cardiac Surgery program for our community. Bring your passion for being part of something new, your excitement for sharing your knowledge, and your enthusiasm for practicing in an environment that respects a balance of professional and family life.
