Respiratory Therapy
(435) 893-0252
 Respiratory Care offers the following outpatient services (each requires a physician's order):
- PFT: Pulmonary Function Test, a test designed to measure how well the lungs are working. Pulmonary function tests (PFT's) gauge how the lungs are carrying out their tasks of expanding and contracting (when a person inhales and exhales) and of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently between the air (or other gases) within the lungs and the blood. Testing times available by appointment.
- Overnight Oximetry: A test that monitors the oxygen saturation of the blood through the use of a pulse oximeter over the course of the night. The data is downloaded by a respiratory therapist and interpreted by a physician. This is a very strong clinical indicator of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Testing times available by appointment.
Respiratory Outpatient Clinic
- ROC Samples: Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, is caused by a virus. It blocks the flow of air through the lungs and makes it hard for your baby to breathe. After a physician's order is obtained, a sample is taken and sent to the on campus lab for culturing.
- Suctioning: Air ways will be cleared of secretions, if indicated.
- Bronchodilators: Medications are given to help the patient breathe easier. The use of Bronchodilators may decrease the wheezing of patients.
Sleep Disorders Lab
(435) 893-0252
 The Sleep Disorders Center offers high tech equipment that provides the means for effective diagnosis and treatment for sleep disorders such as snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and abnormal sleep behaviors.
Most of us have trouble sleeping from time to time, but those with chronic sleep disorders are at risk for serious complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, automobile and other types of accidents, trouble at work, and strained relationships.
One common misconception is that all sleep disorders can be traced to obstructive sleep apnea. There are a number of different conditions that can cause chronic sleep disturbance, including things like restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, and insomnia. The Sleep Disorders Lab is equipped to diagnose and treat all types of sleep disorders.

Birthing Center
 Our labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum suites are the only birthing rooms of this design in any local area hospital. Each of the private suites allows the mother to remain in the same room for labor, delivery, recovery. The remainder of her maternity stay will be in an adjacent private room.

Keeping the mother and her baby together immediately after delivery, and as much as the mother desires during her stay, is one of our highest priorities. The large suites also allow for some family members to participate in the birth process to whatever degree the mother feels comfortable.
We also provide Hill Rom birthing beds, jacuzzi tubs, and a sleep area for the labor coach. The rooms are provide for relaxation with a dimmer switch for the lights, music, and various child birth aids, such as a birthing ball, bean bag chairs, and rocking chairs.
Immediate breast feeding is encouraged if the mother is interested. Trained staff members teach and assist when needed.
