Vision
Personalize our approach to diagnosis and treatment and potentially change the way we manage patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with the ultimate goal of improving clinical outcomes and supporting ongoing discovery.
Mission
Better understand COPD characteristics and health outcomes to more effectively manage and improve the care of individuals living with COPD.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Research and Precision Medicine
Questions we're asking that inform us on how to best care for patients include:
Improving Outcomes
Are there specific projects or pragmatic clinical trials we can drive to improve health and/or reduce costs for COPD patients?
Identifying Subgroups
Can novel COPD subgroups with distinct clinical trajectories, biological underpinnings, or poor outcomes be identified through this research?
Comprehensive Research
Can we build a comprehensive research program that provides for integration and evaluation of emerging therapies into our clinical treatment centers?
Patient Care for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Our clinical mission is to provide state-of-the-art patient care of the highest quality and compassion. We fulfill this mission for our patients across the spectrum of illness, from outpatients to the critically ill, whose health challenges inspire our research efforts and whose experiences serve as our classroom.
