Patients are at the centre of what we do at the Centre for Lung Health. Our specialized outpatient Clinic (formerly known as The Lung Centre) serves patients with a variety of pulmonary conditions. Our researchers and clinicians are also affiliated with other respiratory clinics and services. Clinic patients and members of the general public have opportunities to participate in research studies or volunteer as partners on research teams.
The Centre for Lung Health Clinic (formerly known as The Lung Centre) is a specialized clinic that focuses on the treatment of a wide range of pulmonary conditions, including asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, occupational and environmental lung diseases, sarcoidosis, pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, pleural disease, and respiratory neuromuscular disorders.
As a patient, you have the opportunity to participate in research studies that focus on issues that are important to you. This might involve completing a survey or interview, participating in a focus group, providing samples like blood or sputum, helping test a medical device or try out a new program, being part of a clinical trial for a new drug, or participating in tests to learn how substances in air or food affect the human body.
