Comprehensive Care and Research Flourishes for Patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis
he Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Program in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine continues to blossom, with 400 new patient referrals in the last year, and national recognition as a Center of Excellence by the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation and Foundation for Sarcoidosis. Five pulmonary clinics are currently dedicated to patients with different varieties of pulmonary fibrosis, including specialty clinics for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (led by Imre Noth MD), sarcoidosis (led by Cathy Bonham MD) and autoimmune and connective tissue disease associated ILD (led by Tessy Paul MD, Numaan Malik MD, and Hannah Mannem MD). Research programs include genetics and genomics of ILD, immune drivers of pulmonary fibrosis, and multiple clinical trials. Patient support groups meet bimonthly.
