Asthma Treatment
Inhalation Therapy
Patients of all ages can benefit from inhalation therapy. It's an effective way to treat your asthma because it delivers medication directly into your lungs. We provide home and portable nebulizer machines to help alleviate your symptoms quickly so you can breathe easier.
Pediatric Care
If your child has asthma, they may benefit from a custom treatment plan. At Lincare, we provide equipment and education while working closely with guardians, caregivers, and the child's prescribing practitioner to provide the best possible care for the patient.
How We Can Help
Patients who receive a manufactured valve will almost always require a blood-thinning medication for the rest of their lives. The blood thinner will keep clots from forming. Living with a Mechanical Heart Valve can be challenging, but you're not in it alone. Lincare’s affiliates are here for you and provide at Home PT/INR Testing. The INR Testing program may improve health-related quality of life while receiving the medical treatment you need.

I want Lincare to know that your respiratory system has proven valuable to my son's care and well-being. We are so grateful that this equipment is right at his bedside.
