The Lung Institute at Columbus Regional Hospital has one clear purpose—to provide the absolute best care for patients with acute and chronic lung disorders.
We do this through our commitment to stay at the forefront of innovation. For example, we put all of our diagnosis and treatment services into one location. No other facility in our State offers this type of innovative care and treatment—from diagnosis to chronic disease management to post-treatment care.
Many chronic and acute conditions hinder the body's life-sustaining ability to breathe. The Lung Institute is committed to finding and using the very latest in technology for detecting lung diseases at their earliest stages. In fact, the Lung Institute is the only facility in the region with the technology and skill to diagnose lung cancer earlier, when treatment has the best chance for success.
Our staff, led by Dr. David Wilson, can diagnose and manage the full range of lung conditions including lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma and Pulmonary Hypertension.
