The Lung Center offers a one-stop, multidisciplinary, personalized care program for patients with lung cancer and complex lung diseases. Specialists also manage abnormal computed tomography (CT) scans and minimize diagnosis time, offering early detection and treatment options that may not otherwise be available.

Patients and their families can be assured they are receiving the best personalized treatment plans. Expert caregivers and medical professionals from multiple disciplines meet at regularly held tumor boards to evaluate individual cases and determine the best care options for each patient.

Our comprehensive lung nodule program enables us to detect incidental lung nodules earlier, diagnose lung cancer at an earlier stage, and ultimately, save lives.
