Speech Language Pathology

Speech, language and swallowing difficulties can result from a variety of causes including stroke, brain injury or deterioration, developmental delays or disorders, learning disabilities, cleft palate, voice pathology, heaing loss or emotional problems. Problems can be congenital, developmental or acquired. Most often these difficulties can be addressed through evaluation and treatment to offer patients a higher quality of life through improved communication and/or swallowing.

Harney District Hospital's Speech Language Pathology Department offers evaluation and treatment techniques that are current and relevant to the needs of the community. A strong continuum of care is provided throughout the community in cooperation with home health services and long term care facilities. Services are available during hospital stays on an in-patient or out-patient basis with a physician's referral.

Respiratory Therapy

Respiratory Therapy may help if you have breathing or chest pain difficulties. The most common respiratory problems are Chronic Lung Disease, Asthma and cardiac issues. You can access services from the Respiratory Therapists through a referral by your primary healthcare provider or during a hospital stay.

Harney District Hospital is a smoke-free campus and a Smoking Cessation program is offered to patients. At admission, patients receive a consultation with a Respiratory Therapist to determine if they are interested in quitting smoking. If interested in quitting the habit, patients will be offered information and support by the hospital. Those not interested will be offered medication to make their stay at Harney District Hospital a comfortable one. The program is an easy way to help patients consider not smoking and to begin taking better care of themselves.
