Pulmonary care

Pulmonary medicine in Palatka
The pulmonary physicians at HCA Florida Putnam Hospital are dedicated to improving breathing difficulties caused by respiratory issues.
Although many respiratory conditions can be treated by a primary care physician, advanced pulmonary concerns should be treated by a pulmonologist. Along with our pulmonary team, our pulmonologists offer advanced diagnostic testing and a wide range of treatments for pulmonary conditions — including pulmonary-related sleep conditions.

Treatment for pulmonary-related sleep disorders
Our pulmonary team also treats patients experiencing sleep disorders that may be related to pulmonary conditions, such as sleep apnea. If a pulmonary-related sleep disorder is suspected, our doctors may keep patients overnight at our sleep lab to conduct a sleep study. During a sleep study, doctors collect data about a patients sleep habits to determine the cause of the sleep condition.
