Pulmonary Medicine & Critical Care

What is Pulmonary Medicine & Critical Care?

Pulmonary Medicine is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lungs, such as bronchitis or asthma, as well as more serious illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis or lung cancer. Physicians work closely with patients to help improve their day-to-day activities and overall quality of life.

Critical Care is the medical specialty that focuses on the care of seriously ill patients of all ages--from infant to adult. Critical Care professionals provide the highest quality care for all patients facing life-threatening conditions and work toward the best possible outcome.
