Lung (Pulmonary)
Overview
Pulmonology is the medical specialty that focuses on the lungs.
There are a wide variety of conditions that can affect the lungs,
including benign diseases, cancer, and respiratory issues. At
Beverly Hospital, Addison Gilbert Hospital and Beverly Hospital at
Danvers, you will find the specialty care required to diagnose,
treat and manage the broad spectrum of lung diseases.
For example:
• Beverly Hospital's Thoracic (chest) Surgery Program provides
a leading-edge, multidisciplinary thoracic oncology program
involving medical oncology, radiation oncology and surgery.
Services include non-surgical treatments and minimally invasive
surgical techniques. Through the Thoracic Oncology Program,
thoracic surgeons from Beverly Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center consult with one another, further enhancing
diagnostic and treatment services for North Shore
residents.
• Physicians who are board certified in the lung-related
specialties of pulmonology and critical care medicine oversee
patient care in our inpatient intensive care units through our
Intensivist Program.
• The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is available to
anyone who has chronic lung disease, asthma, emphysema or has
undergone lung surgery.
