Our Myositis Program

What is the role of National Jewish Health?

National Jewish Health is one of the world’s leaders in the study and management of immune diseases, such as myositis. National Jewish Health also specializes in Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), a lung condition that may be seen in patients with myositis.

Our health care providers have vast experience in treating people with myositis. We provide the expertise needed for the comprehensive evaluation and management of people with the disease. We also design an individualized treatment plan best suited for each patient.

To provide for comprehensive care of our patients with myositis, National Jewish Health provides physical, occupational and recreational rehabilitative services in our rehabilitation department (The J. Leonard & Myra Levy Family Rehabilitation Department ).

For more information or to schedule an evaluation with one of our rheumatologists, call LUNG LINE® at 1-800-222-LUNG (5864).
