Breathing is one of the most essential functions of life, so any disease that

treatments for a variety of respiratory conditions. Because so much of the human
body relies on oxygen, a multidisciplinary approach is essential to treating
respiratory conditions. Our center of excellence’s pulmonary specialists,
thoracic surgeons and critical care specialists regularly collaborate with
experts in allergens, cardiology, otolaryngology, endocrinology, neurology,
oncology, radiology, and pediatrics. Additional support is provided by a team of
care managers, clinical nurse specialists, clinical social workers, nurse
practitioners, nutritionists, physical therapists, respiratory care
practitioners, registered nurses, registered pulmonary function technologists
and registered sleep technologists. A nurse navigator offers individualized
attention and support and coordinates the transition of pulmonary care from the
hospital to an outpatient setting.
