In addition to gaining expertise as pulmonary disease specialists, our physicians have broad experience and competence in the treatment and management of critically ill adult patients. As board certified critical care specialists, Presbyterian Pulmonary physicians monitor critical care patients during their hospital stay and after they've left the hospital, organize and manage the critical care unit, and work as members of a multidisciplinary team. Equally important, they understand the ethical, economic, legal, psychosocial and emotional aspects of critical illness and critical care. Providing optimum critical care helps us deliver to our patients the best possible outcomes in life-threatening situations.
