The National Jewish Health Interventional Pulmonology Program in Denver, Colorado, offers a wide range of minimally invasive diagnostic, therapeutic and palliative (symptom-relieving) airway procedures. Our interventional pulmonologists are fellowship-trained and have extensive experience performing minimally invasive procedures that help accurately diagnose patients with lung nodules and other lung concerns.
In partnership with Saint Joseph Hospital, National Jewish Health is among the first hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region to offer robotic bronchoscopy as minimally invasive option for patients with lung nodules and other lung concerns that need to be biopsied.
