The External Respiratory Center (ERC) is the most progressive model of care of its kind in the region; it includes three new exam rooms, two of which are negative-pressure rooms utilized to complete acute care exams and Pulmonary Function Testing for patients with COPD, as well as Spirometry Testing to assess asthmatic patients. The ERC also includes a lab to allow for point of care testing for things such as flu, COVID and strep throat.
