Thoracic and Pulmonary Care

Expert Lung Care Services for Every Breath You Take

Your lungs and airways are essential to your overall health, and when you have breathing issues, a persistent cough, sleep problems or a serious lung condition, you need expert care. At Hackensack Meridian Health, our pulmonary medicine and thoracic surgery teams work together to provide comprehensive, coordinated lung care, ensuring every patient gets the most advanced treatment through a seamless, patient-centered experience.

Pulmonologists specialize in diagnosing and managing lung diseases and breathing disorders with non-surgical treatments such as advanced diagnostic testing, medication and pulmonary rehabilitation. Thoracic surgeons focus on surgical procedures for lung cancer, esophageal cancer and other diseases affecting the chest and upper airway. 

By integrating both specialties, we provide the full spectrum of lung care – from medical management to complex surgical interventions – allowing every patient to access the right care, at the right time, from the right specialists.
