What We Are Doing:
Our Community Acquired Pneumonia Team includes physicians, nurses, and infection control specialists. This team has created a protocol that includes a variety of options for doctors, such as blood culture testing and antibiotics, that ensures fast and effective treatment. Research is ongoing and proves which tests and treatments are most beneficial for patients with pneumonia. PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center is committed to focusing on those treatments and making sure they are available to our patients.
