News - COPD Program at UCLA
The UCLA Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Program provides cutting edge diagnosis and treatments, and supports a staff of renowned physicians, surgeons and researchers. Demonstrating continued excellence in the field of COPD, the UCLA Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Program along with its varied Centers of Excellence, is often the subject of stories in newspapers, magazines, and journals.
We are a nationally-recognized referral center, and have been consistently rated one of the top centers both for lung care, and COPD care specifically, as ranked by US News and World Report. The UCLA COPD Program works with primary care and other referring providers to coordinate expedient visits and to ensure strong continuity and coordination of care.
The Department also frequently issues news releases to keep the community informed on the latest developments in COPD, the treatments available at UCLA, and various milestones within the Department. We include here a collection of recent stories, and an archive of older articles, for your further information.
