Outpatient Pulmonary Practice Update 

• South County Health's outpatient pulmonary practice closed effective June 2, 2025, following Dr. Russo-Magno's departure from this practice to take on another role.
• Unfortunately, SCH is therefore no longer able to accept new patients to our outpatient pulmonary practice.
• Pulmonary services at SCH are not being eliminated entirely. While the outpatient practice is closing, pulmonary emergency and inpatient services will continue to be available at South County Hospital, and our expectations are that the Cardiopulmonary Rehab Program and Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) remains fully available to patients.
• If you are in need of outpatient services, we encourage you to consider one of these pulmonary practices in the region that may be taking new referrals. The ability of a practice to accept patients changes on a daily basis, particularly in Rhode Island, and South County Health makes no assurances that these practices will be accepting patients.
