What is asthma?
Asthma causes your airways to narrow, making it more difficult to breathe. Asthma cannot be cured, but you can control the symptoms with help from your physician.
Dignity Health Medical Foundation physicians provide care for a wide range of pulmonology conditions. If you have a cough that won’t go away, tightness around your chest, or any related symptoms, you might be referred to a pulmonologist—someone who can diagnose and treat respiratory conditions—by your primary care physician. Our pulmonary specialists offer patients expertise in a variety of disorders, including:
Asthma
Sleep disorders
COPD/emphysema
Lung cancer
Pulmonary infections
Cystic fibrosis
Lung infections, like tuberculosis and pneumonia
Emphysema
Chronic bronchitis
Our team uses the latest technology to provide state-of-the-art care in both outpatient and hospital settings.
Through our Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, patients learn how to manage their illnesses more effectively through evaluation, education, exercise, counseling, and follow-up visits. Many participants return to an active lifestyle and take a more proactive role in their own health care.
With locations across California, Dignity Health Medical Foundation is right around the corner. Schedule an appointment with a pulmonologist, in person or virtually.
