Outpatient Services We Offer
We know traveling for care can be difficult. That’s why Monroe County Hospital offers outpatient respiratory therapies and testing, so you can get the care you need close to home.

These tests measure how well your lungs are working, helping diagnose conditions like asthma, COPD, or other chronic lung diseases. Results help your doctor develop or adjust your treatment plan.
Oxygen Therapy Assessment
If you’re experiencing low oxygen levels, our team can assess your needs and help ensure you’re using oxygen safely and effectively at home.
Nebulizer Treatments
For patients with asthma or other conditions needing inhaled medication, our team provides on-site nebulizer treatments and education to ensure you’re using your equipment correctly.
