Expanding
health care in the
Best Southwest
Methodist Charlton Medical Center is excelling as it grows
to meet patient needs with advanced technology and
compassionate, quality care. We’re proud to share some
highlights from 2013:
New emergency team proves exceptional
The hospital welcomed two new physician groups to the
campus this year: a TeamHealth hospitalist group and
Emergency Medical Consultants. With these groups,
a new innovative level of service comes to Methodist
Charlton, along with new technologies and services to
improve efficiency.
You can have a better night’s sleep
The Methodist Charlton Sleep Diagnostic Center opened
this year to help identify and evaluate sleep disorders in adults
and children, including sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs
syndrome, narcolepsy, snoring, and sleepwalking. The center
offers two private hotel-like rooms for sleep studies, which
are available every night of the week.
Breathe easier with bronchial thermoplasty (BT)
For patients with asthma, this treatment offers relief through
a series of three minimally invasive outpatient procedures. BT
is the first nondrug procedure approved for the treatment of
severe persistent asthma in patients 18 years and older.
