We work in collaboration with the pulmonary hypertension program, the connective tissue disease-ILD program, the lung transplant program, thoracic radiology, thoracic surgery, pathology, and the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program to ensure state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for patients with ILD. The center offers all levels of subsequent follow-up care in collaboration with referring primary physicians according to their preference.
