A Breath of Hope for Lung Disease Patients
Breathing is the body’s way of oxygenating the blood. Normally, lungs take in oxygen when you inhale fresh air and expel carbon dioxide when you exhale. In patients with lung problems, movement of air into and out of the lungs is limited, making breathing difficult.
The pulmonary team at Deborah Heart and Lung Center are experts in all facets of chronic respiratory conditions and disease and have a wide-range of the latest pulmonary diagnostic tools and treatment options to manage even the most severe lung conditions.
At Deborah, we routinely treat patients affected by these common lung diseases:
- Asbestosis
- Asthma
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Sarcoidosis
U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named Deborah Heart and Lung Center as a 2026-2027 High Performing hospital for COPD. This is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings, and is given in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.
The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as survival rates, patient experience, and how successfully each hospital helps patients get back home.
