Community Airway Clinics

These clinics, through a partnership with St. Mary’s General Hospital, provide respiratory assessment, education and management for rural residents with lung conditions. Spirometry, a simple breathing test, which measures the speed and amount of air you are able to blow out of your lungs can be used to diagnose different types of lung diseases such as asthma and COPD.

For information call 519-664-3794 or ask your primary care provider to refer you to WCHC for an appointment with the Respiratory Therapist.
