GRMC’s broad-based Cardio/Pulmonary department conducts a full scope of heart and respiratory diagnostics in one convenient suite. If your physician in our medical complex orders an EKG or a pulmonary function study, no need to make a second trip – just make the corner! Previously available only by travel outside the area, critical tests such as Echocardiograms (EKG) and Stress Testing are now provided right here close to home — as well as a “take-home test,” the Holter Monitor. This lightweight, non-invasive piece of equipment is a portable Electrocardiogram that will monitor your heart and actually record its every move for 24 – 48 hours while you go about your normal activities.

Recognized for our Pulmonary expertise, GRMC has been a respiratory therapist teaching hospital for over 12 years. Our technicians hold licenses as Respiratory Care Practitioners. In addition to providing hospital patients with needed respiratory intervention, our experienced staff also offers breathing treatments on an outpatient basis as well as pulmonary function studies to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma patients and those suffering from COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

General surgeons perform consultation and surgery on medical conditions involving the breast, endocrine system, gastrointestinal tract, colon, liver, pancreas and rectum. Operative surgery involves incision into the skin or other organs, inspection or removal of diseased tissue or organs, relief of obstruction, replacement of structures to their normal position, redirection of body channels, transplant of tissues or whole organs and implantation of mechanical or electronic devices.

Orthopedists specialize in problems affecting bones, joints or the related muscles, tendons and ligaments. Orthopedists set broken bones, treat joint conditions such as dislocated or slipped disks, arthritis and back problems, bone tumors and skeletal birth defects. They may also surgically repair or replace hip, knee and finger joints. Recovery from almost any orthopedic problem requires time. It often takes considerable time to heal a fractured bone or to recover from a back injury. Many serious diseases and disorders treated by orthopedists require rehabilitation, counseling, and treatment.

The Respiratory Care Department helps patients with known or suspected pulmonary disease or dysfunction. Our respiratory team works to help patients improve the quality of their lives by improving breathing.  Our licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners work together with physicians, nurses and other clinicians to evaluate patient needs and develop treatment plans for each patient.  In addition to providing hospital patients with respiratory intervention, our experienced staff also offers respiratory treatments on an outpatient basis as well as pulmonary function studies to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma patients and those suffering from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

Our Respiratory Department also offers Pulmonary Rehab and C.A.R.E. Program to help with patient’s quality of daily living.

We at GRMC encourage everyone to take advantage of our CPR Classes held every month.  CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) doubles a person’s chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest, the leading cause of death in adults.  75% of all cardiac arrests happen in people’s homes.  CPR should be started as soon as possible.  Early CPR improves the flow of blood and oxygen to vital organs.  By keeping the brain supplied with oxygenated blood, chances of neurological damage are decreased.

The Urogynecology specialists have experience treating the female urinary and reproductive tract. In addition to four years of general obstetrics and gynecology training, they have three years of training in women’s pelvic health and pelvic reconstructive surgery.
