David Schwartz, MD, MPH
Division Head
What do we do? We diagnose and treat adult patients with a variety of common and unusual respiratory diseases. Patients are evaluated and treated in both the clinic and hospital settings.
Why National Jewish Health? As the #1 respiratory hospital in the U.S., our faculty is widely recognized for excellence in the treatment of lung diseases. We also conduct basic science, clinical and translational research in the areas of asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, sleep disorders and other related conditions. Programs such as the new Autoimmune Lung Disease Center integrate clinical care and research across subspecialties.
Our division continues to launch new initiatives. We recently assumed responsibility for the intensive care unit and hospitalist care at nearby HealthOne Rose Medical Center, and we extended our reach with new locations in south and east Denver.
