Advanced Lung, Respiratory and Interventional Pulmonary Disorders

As a part of the Dignity Health network, patients benefit from close collaboration with specialists in hepatology, endocrinology and more. This comprehensive network provides access to services and support stand-alone clinics cannot provide. In addition, patients cared for at NTI benefit from Dignity Health’s broad range of sub-specialty care including cardiology, nephrology, hepatology, endocrinology, and more.

Norton Thoracic Institute’s lung transplant program at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, one of only two Arizona hospitals with a lung transplant program, is one of the largest in the United States. In fact, we’re home of the country’s second-largest lung transplantation program, and with our streamlined processes, waitlist times are significantly shorter than you’ll find at other treatment centers. It’s just one way we’ve earned a reputation for excellence and innovation in caring for patients with complex and difficult thoracic problems. NTI also conducts groundbreaking research and trains young physicians to improve outcomes for patients in Arizona and beyond.
