Interstitial Lung Disease and Sarcoidosis Program

The multidisciplinary ILD & Sarcoidosis Clinic at Methodist University Hospital aims to provide comprehensive care for patients with ILD and sarcoidosis.  “Lung Board” is a multidisciplinary conference aimed at providing state of the art and timely care to patients with ILD and Sarcoidosis. Pulmonary, Radiology, Pathology, Thoracic Surgery, Rheumatology & Cardiology physicians participate in the conference and provide expert opinion for the care of these patients. This conference is a great venue for physicians to discuss complex management dilemmas and other pertinent topics and serves as an educational forum for house staff in these various disciplines.

Patients with interstitial lung disease and sarcoidosis benefit from this Lung Board by being able to begin a treatment program much sooner because they do not have to visit individual specialists over a course of several weeks. Treatment is managed under one roof, keeping the process convenient for patients.
