Cardio-Pulmonary Services
During World War II soldiers were given cigarettes and chocolate bars as treats. An entire generation was told to relax, ..."smoke 'em if you've got 'em."
Today we know the inevitable dangers associated with smoking. Lung cancer and emphysema are in every region of our nation.
Cardio-Pulmonary treatments have evolved from a specialty found only in major cities to an integral part of healthcare.
