Detection and Prevention

Most lung problems are treatable and preventable, but early detection is very important. The sooner you get your breathing issue checked out, the more likely you will be able to treat and manage your disease and have improved quality of life.

Lung Nodule Evaluation Program

Premier Health has a Lung Nodule Evaluation Program to identify lung nodules and manage care for people at risk of developing lung cancer. Early detection and examination of these nodules can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Do You Have Sleep Apnea?

Many patients with pulmonary disease may also be at high risk for sleep apnea. Take this quiz to determine your risk level.

1. Do you snore? 
2. Do you have daytime tiredness or fatigue?  
3. Have you been observed having an interruption of breathing during sleep?
4. Do you have, or are you being treated for, high blood pressure?
   

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, you may be at risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Contact the Sleep Center for further assessment.

Are You Dependent On Nicotine?

One of the first steps in stopping smoking is to find out if you have a nicotine dependence. Our testing can help you determine if you may need some additional support to stop smoking.

Smoking cessation classes are available at Miami Valley Hospital. These classes are one hour each week for five weeks. For more information, call (877) 684-4584(877) 684-4584.
