Company Overview
For more than a century at Barlow Respiratory Hospital, our focus has been on helping patients breathe easier. As a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital, Barlow treats patients with critical care needs that require longer hospital stays and specialized, expert care. On average, patients stay at Barlow for 30 days.
Many patients are referred to Barlow by other hospitals and health care providers. Aware of our established outcomes, they recognize Barlow's expertise in treating patients with complex respiratory and medical needs.
Through the Barlow Respiratory Research Center, we keep abreast of the latest treatments and technologies for our patients. Barlow is also internationally recognized for its success rate weaning patients from ventilators.
Our highly specialized Programs and Services deliver expert care and support for a variety of critical care needs. These nationally recognized programs include individualized treatment and care for our patients.
Our physician-led health care teams, which include nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, case managers, and dietitians, together, apply their expertise to each patient. The goal of our "team approach" to care is to return patients to optimal functioning in their daily lives.
Company History
For more than a century, Barlow Respiratory Hospital has been helping people breathe easier by providing high quality respiratory care to those who need it most. Whatever our patients’ circumstances, each healthy, independent breath brings them closer to the life they once knew.
For the nonprofit hospital that would bear his name, Dr. W. Jarvis Barlow created a patient-centric environment, a place that integrates the warmth of home with the skills and services of highly-trained specialists. For the past 113 years, we have carried on this tradition of always putting our patients first, successfully weathering decades of shifting political and economic priorities at every level.
At the Barlow Foundation, we work to raise philanthropic funds to support the best care modern respiratory medicine can deliver to each patient at Barlow Respiratory Hospital. Because at Barlow, we believe every breath matters.
