Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine

Our pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine team is dedicated to helping people breathe easier, sleep better, and navigate some of the most challenging moments in their health. Whether someone is managing a long-term lung condition, facing a sudden critical illness, or struggling with disruptive sleep issues, we’re here to provide care that is thoughtful, thorough, and centered around each person’s needs.

We do this by:

• Providing compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-based care for a wide range of conditions—from common respiratory concerns to the most complex and rare diseases.
• Educating patients and their families so they can better understand their condition and feel confident and empowered in managing their respiratory and sleep health.
• Training the next generation of pulmonary and critical care specialists through The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Training Program.
• Improving how lung diseases, sleep disorders, and critical illnesses are diagnosed and treated through active research at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
