Serving Our Community
We’re dedicated to genuine, face-to-face communication with everyone who receives respiratory therapy services — and beyond.
Star Valley Health is capably staffed with certified respiratory therapists who are experienced in providing life support in the emergency room, intensive care unit, general hospital areas, and other specialty areas, like rehabilitation. We also serve our outpatient community with effective, nonsurgical tests, including cardiopulmonary exercise.
Our respiratory team is involved in the diagnostic testing of infants, children, and adults with underlying medical concerns, including disease and sleep disorders. As part of our respiratory therapy department, Star Valley Health conducts sleep studies in our sleep lab by a certified polysomnographer.
