The Lung Center was one of the first in the country to combine pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, and allergists in a single outpatient location. This approach provides patients with a comprehensive resource for diagnosing and treating a range of respiratory diseases.
Barnes-Jewish and Washington University physicians specialize in conditions ranging from general respiratory infections and pneumonia to cancer of the lung, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, hypertension and sleep disorders. When surgery is recommended, pulmonologists work collaboratively with thoracic surgeons to provide the best medical and surgical therapies available for lung and chest conditions.
