Trach Clinic
Until now, there has not been a dedicated clinic focused on the unique needs of tracheostomy patients. This population benefits from specialized care provided by experienced clinicians who understand the challenges patients and caregivers face—especially when transitioning home. Anxiety, questions about daily care, secretion management, and difficulty obtaining supplies are common concerns. Our clinic is here to provide support and comprehensive care, including routine trach changes, evaluation and management of complications, secretion control, stoma and infection issues, assessments for speaking valve use, capping and decannulation readiness, DME and breathing treatment orders, and ongoing education for patients and caregivers.
