Helping you breathe
Choosing services with Western ProResp provides you with the comfort of knowing that when you leave the hospital, you can bring the highest quality care home with you.
Integrated care, from hospital to home
The Western ProResp partnership is a joint venture between the London Health Sciences Centre and ProResp, Ontario’s largest community respiratory therapy provider.
This partnership ensures that before you leave the hospital your home care respiratory therapists are working directly with your hospital’s team to get you home and help keep you there.

In 2017, Delrae was in hospital and contracted a virus – the kind of superbug that wreaks havoc on the body. Her breathing was already bad to begin with, but now it became extremely difficult. She was short of breath all the time, especially upon exertion. Delrae’s doctors prescribed oxygen therapy and thanks to a joint venture between the hospital and ProResp, she was introduced to ProResp where our team became familiar with her care plan and ensured seamless care from hospital to home.
“ProResp has been amazing,” Delrae told us. “Any questions I have are answered with a smile and any problems I have are always fixed right away.”
Recently, Delrae has been having problems with her hydro. It keeps going out for long periods of time. “When I tell them the hydro is out, they are here every morning with fresh oxygen cans, keeping me breathing easy,” Delrae said.
“ProResp has given me back my freedom. I am free to leave the house whenever I want and go just go out and do things. It is something some people take for granted, but when you are short of breath it can be scary. With ProResp, I know I have the support I need, and that gives me the confidence to live my life the way I want,” she added. “We have received excellent care from them.”
The support you get at home is as important as the care you receive in your community hospital. That is why the Western ProResp partnership constantly measures the care we deliver and reports patient satisfaction to London Health Sciences Centre leadership and ProResp. With the joint oversight of the London Health Sciences Centre and ProResp, you can be confident you are getting the best care, getting you back to doing what you love.
