About |
Established in 2016
Inspiration Pulmonary Health was established to provide the community with complete pulmonary services under one roof. We offer Pulmonary Function Testing, Spirometry, MIP/MEP, arterial blood gases, biologic injections, methacholine challenge testing and respiratory patient education.
We work hard to make sure our wait times are low (urgent testing can be accommodated on the same day), our turn around times are fast (interpretations and report turn around time is within one business day) and our office stays on time. Typical wait times for a Respirology consult is between 3-6 months, we are actively looking to recruit a second Respirologist to our team in hopes of reducing this wait. For Pulmonary Function Testing, wait times are kept below 2 weeks and our clinic will add clinic days and hours to keep wait times low. |
Our GoalThe importance of pulmonary disease and health has grown remarkably over the years. Chronic lung disease now accounts for the number one cause of hospital admissions AND re-admissions. This means the need for accessible pulmonary testing and education has also grown exponentially.
We are passionate in looking after our patients with pulmonary diseases. We aim to provide unparalleled optimization of respiratory health to help improve patient's quality of life, educate them on their lung conditions and reduce the stress on the hospital system. |
