What does LUNG LINE do?
LUNG LINE nurses provide educational information on lung, allergic and immune diseases to healthcare consumers who call, e-mail or contact National Jewish Health through our web site or other web sites.
Since LUNG LINE began answering calls in 1983, LUNG LINE staff has provided answers to more than 1,000,000 contacts. Since the mid 90s, LUNG LINE and Physician Line nurses have screened all new pulmonary, allergy, rheumatology and immunology patients seen at National Jewish Health.
Nurses are available to answer your questions about early detection, care and prevention of respiratory, allergic and immune diseases. Although they can't diagnose conditions or suggest specific medical care, they can review topics to discuss with your healthcare provider and provide state-of-the-art information. In addition to answering your questions, they can send you free educational materials and refer you to a specialist, if indicated. LUNG LINE nurses can also answer your questions about National Jewish Health and send information about our patient care programs.
