The MDI or metered dose inhalers such as Albuterol or Proventil and DPI or dry powered inhalers such as Advair or Spiriva. This information is very important to the success of managing their disease process and any medication regime.   Our hours of operation are: Clinical services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, outpatient services are normally scheduled from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday – Friday (exceptions weekends & holidays).
