Thoracic Support

What happens when I am diagnosed?

Our thoracic program provides first-time appointments, second-opinion consults, ongoing treatment and follow-up visits. When you receive a diagnosis of a lung or chest condition, you can access a variety of Sentara hospitals via our network of physicians and supporting facilities, including imaging, rehabilitation and diagnostic care.
