On the Move: Latrobe Hospital Respiratory Department Latrobe Hospital Respiratory Department has moved from the 3 west wing to the ground floor (the space previously used as Dr. Mills’ office suite). This move comes in preparation for the remodel of 2 west and south back into inpatient care. The new space once completed will be more convenient for patients receiving care from the pulmonary function lab.

New treatment techniques at Outpatient Rehabilitation Services Excela Health Outpatient Rehabilitation Services has multiple techniques to improve muscle recovery including ‘cupping’. Cups are placed on inflicted areas and suctioned on. This increases blood flow to the area and can be effective in improving pain, mobility and muscle recruitment. Talk to your physician or physical therapist to see if this treatment may be right for you. To learn more about Outpatient Rehabilitation Services and locations visit: http://bit.ly/2KeaLyd.
