New Jersey Lung Care
Breathe Easier With Advanced Pulmonary Services
We are pleased to provide extensive, coordinated screening and treatment services for patients with respiratory concerns. These treatment options are available at several of our facilities throughout New Jersey and provide our patients and their families with convenient access to powerful, modern treatments and support from our knowledgeable professionals.
Signs of Lung Disease
Our lungs take in the air, provide our bodies oxygen, and expel everything else in our air that we don't need. When our lungs aren't functioning properly, our activity may be limited and we may become vulnerable to other conditions, and even exposed to catastrophic health effects.
Common signs of lung disease include:
- Chronic or dry coughing
- Pronounced fatigue
- Unexplained shortness of breath
- Abnormally fast breathing (even at rest)
- Unexplained weight loss
- Hoarseness/Wheezing
- Coughing up blood or phlegm
- Frequent occurrences of bronchitis and pneumonia
Lung Screening Programs
We understand that early detection gives lung disease patients the best possible chance at a full recovery. That is why we offer the Lung Screening Program. Lung cancer is a leading cause of death of both men and women in the United States and, because it is often detected late, it claims many lives that otherwise could have been received treatment.
We offer patients low-dose CT scanning for patients age 55-77 who have a history of smoking. Many commercial insurance plans provide coverage for these screenings, as does Medicare and Medicaid. If you believe you qualify for this screening program, our lung care professionals are ready to hear from you.
