Lahey’s Center for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of health care professionals committed to improving and maintaining the health and quality of life for our patients with COPD through a comprehensive disease management program. We believe that COPD is a reversible and treatable disease, and that early and ongoing treatment can change and improve the lives of those affected.

Lahey Hospital & Medical Center has achieved international recognition for its pioneering work in the field of interventional pulmonary medicine. This field includes diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to critical care medicine and the care of patients with a variety of pulmonary conditions such as lung cancer, pleural disease and airway disorders.

Lahey Hospital & Medical Center is the first hospital in New England utilizing a registry to offer an innovative way to help diagnose lung cancer which may reduce the risks associated with more invasive biopsies and diminish the uncertainties of bronchoscopy results.

Lahey pulmonologists are using advanced genomic technology called Percepta to help determine whether a spot found on a patient’s lung is benign or malignant. By improving preoperative diagnostic accuracy, the aim is to help patients avoid unnecessary more invasive procedures.
