Quality of Life in Every Breath

A warm, caring environment and one of the leading programs of its kind in Michigan, the Assisted Breathing Center provides around-the-clock care, activities and rehabilitation for people who are ventilator-dependent due to disease, injury or other conditions.

An essential part of program is a dedication to helping patients reach their fullest potential by treating the whole person.
