Breathe Better With Innovative Pulmonary Care

Pulmonary Care

Lung conditions such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma, emphysema, and lung cancer can cause breathing problems. If you experience shortness of breath, wheezing, or something more serious, turn to the pulmonary experts at The Lung Center at Penn Highlands Healthcare with seven pulmonary clinics throughout Central Pennsylvania. Our highly skilled pulmonologists, respiratory therapists and other pulmonary experts provide comprehensive pulmonary care to diagnose and treat you.

In addition to specializing in providing treatments for patients with breathing problems, The Lung Center also partners with Penn Highlands experienced cancer team to provide lung cancer screenings, lung cancer diagnosis, and lung cancer treatment. In recognition of our dedication in early detection and treatment of lung cancer, we have been named a Center of Excellence with the Lung Cancer Alliance and a UPMC Center of Excellence for Lung Cancer Screening.

Breathing problems can severely limit your quality of life. Whether you are dealing with COPD or your child struggles with asthma, it’s vital that you get an early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan that will help you manage your disease and even stop progression. Our pulmonary care team includes pulmonologists, surgeons, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, and many other clinicians who form a team to provide you with this care.

Breathing problems are treated in a variety of ways depending on their cause and severity, as well as the patient’s age and general health condition. Most common respiratory problems, like asthma and COPD, can be treated with medication management and patient education on how to avoid triggers, control breathing, and monitor symptoms. Some more severe pulmonary diseases, such as emphysema and lung cancer, may need more intensive treatment, including surgery and pulmonary rehabilitation.

We provide a wide variety of diagnostic tests and treatments for all types of breathing problems. In addition, we provide many innovative procedures including:

Envisia Genomic Classifier to help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other interstitial lung diseases (ILDs)
Bronchial thermoplasty, an outpatient procedure for severe asthma
Zephyr Endobronchial Valve procedure to treat emphysema
SPiN Access Catheter™ for early detection and treatment of lung cancer
