COPD care at home in Union County
For someone with advanced COPD, the trip to a doctor's office is often the most breathless part of the week. That is a poor way to run care for a lung condition.
Managing COPD without the trips to an office
We cover Union County from the Summit and Westfield area through Cranford and Scotch Plains down to Elizabeth and Linden.
A clinician comes to your home anywhere in Union County with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. Visits run 45 to 60 minutes, which is the time it takes to examine you properly, review every medication in the house and write a plan your family can follow. Whether you are looking for a house call doctor, a visiting physician or in-home medical care for a senior parent in Union County, this is that service.
Inhalers that actually work
Inhaler technique is easy to get wrong, and when it is wrong the medication never reaches the lung. We watch you use your own device, with your own hands, and correct the technique or switch to a device that suits you. This one thing changes outcomes more often than a new prescription.
A written plan for a bad day
Everyone with COPD should know what to do when breathing worsens: which medication to start, when to call us, and when to call 911. We write it down, leave it on the fridge and go through it with whoever is around.
After a hospital stay in Union
If you have recently been discharged from Overlook Medical Center in Summit or Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, we can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is actually in the house. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.
Towns we cover in Union County
