The Temple Lung Center is a leader in diagnosing and treating both common and complex lung problems as a premier center for lung disease, located in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Our Department of Thoracic Medicine and Surgery was the first in the nation to include thoracic medical and surgical care in a consolidated, multidisciplinary academic department of three integrated sections: Thoracic Surgery, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, and the Center for Inflammation and Lung Research, to deliver the highest quality patient care, advance cutting-edge research, and attract world-class physicians.
Temple is a leader in the fields of lung transplantation, acute and chronic care of pulmonary diseases, clinical and scientific research, and medical education.
Our pulmonary clinical trials program includes research into the causes of and therapies for COPD, emphysema, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, asthma, lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, pulmonary fibrosis and sleep apnea.
We expect to reshape the standard of care for patients with lung disease and lead in the ever-evolving landscape of treatment, research, and education in Philadelphia and far beyond.
