What You Can Expect at the Center

Evaluation
You will receive a comprehensive medical evaluation related to your condition by a primary care or family medicine physician, nurse practitioner or assistant. This will include a review of your previous medical records including blood work, radiology, behavioral health screenings, pulmonary testing and advanced cardiac testing.

Diagnostic Work-Up
Depending on the findings, additional testing may be required including a CAT Scan, swallowing evaluation, or physical therapy exam. Once all results are compiled, a detailed report will be mailed to your referring physician. It is our goal to keep your primary care provider informed of your progress.

Your Treatment Plan
In consultation with your referring physician, you will be given an individualized treatment plan. It may include pulmonary rehabilitation, physical therapy, scheduled office visits, follow up studies or home health services through Visiting Nurse Association of Staten Island (VNA).
