Specialized lung care for women

Research tells us women experience lung disease differently than men. Conditions like asthma, COPD, and lung cancer can come with unique symptoms and risk factors. Lung disease treatments may even affect women in distinct ways.

We research the specific needs of women with lung disease. Then, we develop treatment plans that consider hormonal effects, the differences in women’s bodies, and other factors.

Our approach to women’s lung health

Our understanding of how lung disease develops and progresses in women helps us find more effective treatments.
Respiratory care for women

Lung disease impacts women in unique and significant ways. Women may experience more severe symptoms from conditions like asthma and COPD. Women may also be more vulnerable to lung damage from tobacco and other risk factors.

We assess you to figure out which symptoms are gender-specific and require treatments targeted to those differences.

Pulmonary genetics
Genetics also plays a role in lung disease. Our physicians research the ways in which genetic factors affect the respiratory system. This expertise helps us explore new ways to manage these diseases and provide treatments.
Lung cancer care
We’re one of the few hospitals in the nation that offers evaluation and treatment specifically for women with lung cancer. There are distinct differences in how lung cancer affects women. Our program addresses those differences with research and treatment led by experts focused on advanced care for women.
