Inova's disease-specific and advanced lung programs provide highly specialized evaluation and treatment for individuals with severe, often life-threatening lung conditions. Our lung specialists continually seek out and implement the latest treatment techniques, offering patients advancements that may delay or forestall the need for a lung transplant or provide treatment options for those not eligible for transplantation.
