When a patient comes to National Jewish Health, whether it be for pulmonary hypertension or for another lung disease, they can expect that we are going to be dedicated to helping them understand what is the cause of their shortness of breath.

We’re going to be with them every step of the way, from before they hit the door to when they’re here through the diagnosis, developing a treatment plan and educating them about their disease.

When they leave, we want them to understand their disease and have a plan of what they can do today to feel better.
