Your pulmonology team
When fighting primary lung cancer and metastases to the lung, it is important to surround yourself with a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists. Your care team should be experienced in treating the disease and providing quality of life care. One important member of your CTCA care team is an interventional pulmonologist.
Dr. Mark Lund, a board-certified interventional pulmonologist and critical care specialist, brings significant expertise and advanced options to people fighting cancer at CTCA at Eastern Regional Medical Center. One of few interventional pulmonologists in the country, Dr. Lund serves as the hospital’s Director of Interventional Pulmonology, Bronchoscopy, and ICU.
After completing his medical degree and residency, Dr. Lund completed pulmonary and critical care fellowships at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, followed by an advanced fellowship in interventional pulmonology. Dr. Lund’s career has been marked by research and leadership positions, as well as numerous awards and honors, including convocation in 2005 as a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians.
Aside from Dr. Lund, other members of the team include pulmonologists, such as Dr. Jeffrey Hoag and Dr. David Visco. Another important member of the pulmonology team is Kathy Morrow, an interventional pulmonology therapist. With over 20 years of experience in respiratory therapy, Morrow has been at CTCA at Eastern Regional Medical Center since its opening in December 2005.
The rest of your care team
In addition to the pulmonology team, your CTCA care team extends to cancer specialists in other areas. This includes surgical, medical and radiation oncologists, as well as dietitians, naturopathic clinicians, pain specialists, mind-body therapists, and rehabilitation therapists.
Each member of your care team takes a specific role in addressing your other needs throughout treatment to ensure you receive comprehensive care for the whole person, not just the disease. “It’s very much a team effort and everyone works so well together. Every department works hand-in-hand,” says Morrow.
