Pulmonary fibrosis clinic

We treat patients with interstitial lung diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis. Interstitial lung disease is a group of diseases that cause a thickening of the supporting tissues between the air sacs. It is diffuse, normally affecting all of the lungs and not only one area. Prognosis depends on the precise cause. Some forms resolve completely and some result in irreversible scarring and respiratory failure. 

Our specialty team includes pulmonologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, radiologists and pathologists. A nurse coordinates care and connects patients to clinical research and medication trials. Social workers and respiratory therapists provide education and support resources to help patients manage the complex problems related to their condition.

The provider team spans the range of pulmonology subspecialties to help you stay close to home for treatment.

The pulmonary fibrosis support group meets first Wednesday of each month. It brings patients and their families together to create community, raise awareness and more.
