Specialized Services
Interventional Bronchoscopy This advanced procedure creates a three-dimensional map of the lung. It
allows physicians to perform precise biopsies, place markers for radiation
therapy, and remove small peripheral lung lesions.
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) CPET measures oxygen use, ventilation, and gas exchange to help physicians
evaluate heart and lung function and determine the best treatment plan.
SuperKids Asthma Initiative
The SuperKids Asthma Initiative (SKAI) provides education and support for
children with asthma and their families. Developed by Valley Health experts,
SKAI helps children manage asthma and live active lives. Families receive
a SKAI Toolbox with resources to reinforce education provided during care.
