Pulmonary and Critical Care

MetroHealth is dedicated to the delivery of state-of-the-art care, to the education of health care providers and to the investigation of pulmonary disease, critical illness and sleep disorders. We have a long and proud history of making important contributions to our understanding of major diseases and of playing a vital role in providing medical care in our community. We are recognized regionally and nationally for our continued leadership in these endeavors.

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Division has an integrated team of expert pulmonologists/intensivists, sleep specialists, nurse practitioners and respiratory therapists who provide unsurpassed care with compassion. In addition, we offer a state-of-the-art Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program and Smoking Cessation Program. We staff a 13-bed medical intensive care unit, as well as a 16-bed stepdown unit. The Division also operates sleep labs in Independence, Westlake and at our main campus, as well as a specialized Sleep Clinic.
