Lung Health Services at Virtua
High-Risk Lung Cancer Screening
Early-stage lung cancer often has no obvious signs or symptoms. For this reason, a non-invasive lung cancer screening is the only way to detect tumors or nodules at an early and more treatable stage. A lung cancer screening is recommended for current and former smokers who meet the high-risk criteria. Virtua's lung nurse navigators are available to answer your questions and guide you through the entire process.
Lung Nodule Program
The lung nodule program is designed to optimize care and ensure regular screenings after a lung nodule is identified. Our specialists work with your primary care physician to provide prompt evaluation, diagnosis, and ongoing monitoring of pulmonary nodules.
Pulmonary Rehab Program
If you're experiencing pulmonary or respiratory conditions, our team can help. Through our pulmonary rehab program, you'll receive assessments and a personalized exercise plan supervised by certified professionals. For more information, call 856-341-8163.
