Center for Advanced Lung Care Frequently Asked Questions

Due to my illness, I have continuous oxygen always supplied to me. Will there be oxygen available at the new location?

Yes. We will continue to have the ability to supply oxygen to you at our center and assist in transitioning you back to your own oxygen supply prior to departure. 

Are there handicap parking spots at 146 West River Street?

Yes. There are six handicap parking slots located on the south side of the building. Our new office is located on the first floor, making it readily handicap accessible for our patients to enter and exit the building. 

What are some of the services and procedures at the new facility?

Our goal for moving locations is to consolidate our resources and increase accessibility for our patients. We will have our own pulmonary function test and echocardiogram laboratories. There are plans for an infusion lab in the same building in the future. We also will have patient navigators and a pharmacist team to assist patients. 

I may have a difficult time arriving to my appointment on time.

We understand that it may be difficult to arrive to your appointment because of road construction. Please allow for additional travel time if possible. We will continue to offer telemedicine appointments to patients who have difficulty arranging transportation for appointments. Our center is integrated with other healthcare facilities, and we may be able to offer testing and procedures at other locations. 

I take public transportation, where is the nearest bus drop off and pick up location?

Our center is accessible with RIPTA via the Route 58 bus. The bus drops off at West River St. and Corliss St. It is approximately a 2-minute walk from the bus stop to the front door. Please visit the link below to view inbound and outbound times and locations:
