National Jewish Health Center

[Guest guest]

Dyane -

Rest assured, the entire staff at National Jewish is fantastic!! From the

people who do the blood gas tests, the 6 minute walk tests, the pulmonary

function test, the exercise tolerance tests, the barium swallow tests and the

ultrasound of the heart. They are all absolutely great. I am so glad I went

there. My reason for selecting National Jewish out of the 22 centers of

excellence was purely proximity to Salt Lake City. I suspect that all if the

NIH endorsed members of the IPFNET are equally as good. They are so thorough,

honest and considerate. I have contacts with the doctors, oxygen therapist, and

rehab exercise personnel at National Jewish. I am trying to do as much as I can

in Salt Lake, but there is much lacking locally, except for the pulmonary rehab

at the University of Utah. I have joined a study group on exercise for PF

patients as well as the genetic studies research here in Utah. The University

of Utah is a member of the IPFNET from the research standpoint.

You will find your visit to Denver very rewarding.

Best of luck,
