Paul received a life-saving treatment for COPD

“I received a life-changing treatment for my COPD.”

With his COPD, it got increasingly hard to do simple tasks like bending over and tying his shoes or cutting the grass. For years Paul looked for new treatment options, but everything his doctors suggested didn’t help. So he made the trip from Maryland to Temple and was offered something innovative and minimally invasive — bronchoscopic COPD treatment Philadelphia patients trust.

A National Leader in Lung Innovation and Expertise

Located in the heart of Philadelphia, the Temple Lung Center brings together world-class pulmonologists, pioneering lung transplant surgeons, and leaders in respiratory research. Our multidisciplinary team of physician-researchers don't just treat — they innovate. From advancing life-saving procedures like BLVR to leading one of the country’s most active pulmonary clinical trial programs, we’re redefining what’s possible in lung care. And, as the highest volume lung transplant center in the region, our team takes on the most complex cases - offering hope to patients who may have been turned down elsewhere due to age, higher BMI, comorbidities, and other eligibility criteria.
