Interventional Pulmonology


National Jewish Health and Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colorado, have one of the leading interventional pulmonology programs in the Rocky Mountain region. Our interventional pulmonologists have extensive experience performing lung procedures to help diagnose and treat all types of lung disease, including lung nodules and lung cancer. 

We are among the first hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region to have minimally invasive robotic bronchoscopy technology that allows our physicians to get tissue samples from deep within the lungs where 70 percent of nodules reside.
