Lincare - Auburn
The mission of Lincare is to set standards of excellence for providing respiratory care, infusion therapy and medical equipment to patients in the home.
OXYGEN THERAPY
Lincare responds to the needs of every patient individually by providing the oxygen system most appropriate for his or her lifestyle. Oxygen concentrators, stationary and portable liquid oxygen systems, and high pressure cylinders are provided according to the physician's prescription and with consideration for the activity level of each patient Lincare regularly monitors how well each respiratory patient follows the prescribed course of treatment, ensuring compliance with liter flow and hours of use. Regularly monitoring patient compliance increases the likelihood that patients will receive the maximum benefit from the prescribed therapy.
RESPIRATORY THERAPY
Nebulizers, which aerosolize respiratory medications for direct deposition in the upper and lower airways, are used in the treatment of many diseases, including asthma.
The availability of unit dose respiratory medications delivered to the patient's home ensures proper dosage, prescribed solution strength, and preservation of product sterility. Lincare's unique follow-up program maximizes patient compliance.
Oxygen saturation recording, as well as carbon dioxide trending, are services Lincare can provide to assist physicians in patient management.
Suction equipment and tracheotomy supplies are provided for bronchopulmonary hygiene.
ENTERAL THERAPY
Lincare is committed to clinical excellence in enteral therapy services. Many Lincare locations have registered and licensed dietitians, called Medical Nutritional Specialists, who manage enteral patients from the point of referral until the discontinuation of the feeding tube.
