Over the years our medical group has been known as “PMA” which stands for “Pulmonary Medicine Associates.” Our providers care for some of the most complicated and critically ill patients in the Greater Sacramento Area, both in the hospital and in the outpatient office environment.
Our full name is “Pulmonary Medicine, Infectious Disease and Critical Care Consultants Medical Group, Inc.” and the scope of our services include but are not limited to:
Critical Care Medicine—providing specialized care for seriously ill patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
Pulmonary Medicine—evaluating and caring for patients with problems involving the lungs and breathing. Examples include but are not limited to asthma, emphysema, COPD, interstitial lung disease, pleural effusions, sarcoidosis, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Infectious Disease—evaluating, tracking, and caring for patients with serious infections. In addition to patient care responsibilities, we work with the hospitals and counties as part of their Infection Control programs.
Sleep Medicine—evaluating and treating the range of problems relating to sleep disorders.
Palliative Care—the medical discipline focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness – no matter what the prognosis.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy—supervising and managing patients whose medical problems can be improved by the use of high levels of oxygen.
