About Us

Ascension Saint Thomas Medical Partners Rutherford Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine delivers care for lung diseases and sleep disorders.

Pulmonary medicine tests and treatments for lung diseases, sleep apnea and more

Not being able to take a deep breath can affect your physical and emotional health. We provide pulmonary function tests to show how well your lungs are working. Your care team offers specialty care to help manage your symptoms and help you breathe better. Tests and non-surgical treatments to help improve how your lungs function, include:

  • Bronchoscopy, a diagnostic test of your airways
  • Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation
  • Endobronchial ultrasound biopsy
  • Oxygen therapy
  • Pulmonary function test
  • Pulmonary hypertension management
  • Stop smoking programs

If needed, our care team will refer you for a sleep study to help diagnose a sleep disorder and identify a treatment plan for your condition. For sleep medicine studies, our care team coordinates your sleep lab study or home-based sleep apnea test. Then, we work with you to create a care plan that helps improve your quality of sleep.

Sleep disorder care plans

Your doctor will provide treatment options to help you manage your symptoms, such as fatigue, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and anxiety. Sleep disorder treatments also help support your brain and heart health by improving the delivery of oxygen throughout your body. Treatments for sleep disorders may include:

  • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for sleep apnea
  • Insomnia treatment using cognitive behavior therapy
  • Lifestyle and dietary changes
  • Medically supervised weight loss or bariatric surgery
  • Medication management
  • Relaxation skills
