Our services
Novant Health Pulmonary & Critical Care – Mooresville serves adults suffering from chronic lung conditions and acute breathing problems. Our providers will evaluate your lung health and identify factors that could be affecting your ability to breathe. If you smoke, our providers have resources to help you quit. Whether you are managing health-related changes to your lifestyle or inherited conditions, our team will work with you to determine the best way to treat or manage your condition, to help you remain as active and healthy as possible.
Should you receive care for a respiratory condition at a Novant Health hospital, you will likely see a member of our team during your stay or visit. You can then seamlessly continue same-day care in our clinic after your hospital treatment ends.
