Pulmonary Special Care Program
 Advanced
lung disease presents physicians and allied health care professionals
with unique challenges. Whether the diagnosis is COPD, Pulmonary
Fibrosis, Cystic Fibrosis, Pulmonary Hypertension or any
other lung disease causing reduced pulmonary efficiency,
patients have complex care requirements. The Pulmonary Special
Care Program, offered by the Saint Barnabas Hospice and Palliative
Care Center, provides comprehensive care solutions tailored
to individual patient needs. Working in collaboration with
the attending physician, our interdisciplinary team helps
maximize each patient’s respiratory potential, thereby
improving their quality of life.
The Saint Barnabas Hospice and Palliative
Care Center understands that pulmonary disease limits ordinary
activities of daily living. Our goal is to help pulmonary
patients control symptoms, maximize
their quality of life and provide reassurance to lessen fear
and anxiety. Pulmonologists and attending physicians work
in synergy with the hospice team, patient and family to provide
active
medical management. The team also provides vital support
and resources to help ease the stress associated with advanced
illness. Our team is available on-call to assist patients
24 hours a day,
7 days a week.

Primary care physicians, pulmonologists
and/or other specialists can help families determine when
the time is right to seek extra support in caring for a loved
one with advanced lung disease. Early referral to the Pulmonary
Special Care Program provides needed support to patients
and caregivers, enhancing the quality of life for everyone
involved.
Working hand-in-hand with a patient’s
physician, the Pulmonary Special Care Program is able to
provide consistent care to patients with advanced lung disease.
Only by maintaining active and open communication channels
with the primary care physician can we ensure the best possible
care.
