Barlow Respiratory Hospital was established in 1902 as Barlow Sanatorium, treating patients with Tuberculosis in a healthful natural setting. Our legacy as a center of excellence in Southern California for treating respiratory and other diseases that required prolonged, specialized treatment leads us to a continued commitment to service to our patients, staff and community. At Barlow Respiratory Hospital, we provide the highest quality respiratory care. Our expert team of Barlow Physicians, Nurses and Therapists draw upon more than a century of respiratory health expertise and employ cutting edge research and technology. Our patients are often medically fragile, chronically critically ill and dependent on a ventilator, unable to breathe on their own. Our Barlow Physicians, Nurses and Therapists work to achieve the best possible outcomes for quality of life. Our exceptional success rate in weaning patients from ventilators is among the highest in the nation as reported in a national long-term acute care database. Our nationally recognized TIPS© Protocol is evidence-based to help patients referred to us from hospitals in every corner of the nation and from around the globe. Our Center for Outcomes and Value has a long history of studying critically ill patient populations and operates the only respiratory health database in the nation. Our dedication to training medical professionals of the future is rooted in our legacy of respiratory care. Barlow Respiratory Hospital is dedicated to providing the best in respiratory hospital care.
