About Us

The Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine's mission is to:

  • provide the highest quality patient care by combining compassion and cutting edge technology to treat pulmonary and related diseases, critically ill patients, and those with sleep-related conditions.
  • perform clinical, translational, and basic research that will further our understanding of pulmonary disease and disorders and lead to improved diagnosis and treatment
  • train the next generation of leaders in pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine.

The clinics offer the full scope of inpatient and outpatient services involving the diagnostic evaluation and clinical management of respiratory disorders. Diagnostic aspects include:

  • routine pulmonary function testing
  • evaluation of all lung diseases, including related and intrarelated pulmonary evaluation of interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, infectious lung disease, drug-related pulmonary disorders and carcinoma of the lung
