Lung Center offers comprehensive program for pulmonary and thoracic conditions
Farrell, PA — UPMC Horizon has streamlined its approach to treating patients with pulmonary and thoracic conditions with the opening of the UPMC Horizon Lung Center near its Shenango Valley campus in Farrell.
Located in Primary Health Park Place at 350 Sharon-New Castle Road, the UPMC Horizon Lung Center incorporates pulmonary medicine and thoracic surgery while offering seamless access to diagnostic services available at the hospital as well as the UPMC Cancer Center at UPMC Horizon.
“The UPMC Horizon Lung Center provides a one-stop location for patients in the Mercer County area who require treatment from lung specialists,” says James Marcin, DO, pulmonologist with UPMC Horizon.
Dr. Marcin and fellow pulmonologist Natalia Moguillansky, MD, and thoracic surgeons Robert Jama, DO, and Joseph Wizorek, MD, all see patients at the UPMC Horizon Lung Center, offering treatment for conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary hypertension, emphysema, sleep apnea, lung cancer, and esophageal diseases.
By providing both pulmonary medicine and thoracic surgery in the same location, the Lung Center eliminates the need for a patient with a lung condition to visit multiple physician offices if a referral is necessary. Instead, a pulmonary medicine patient may be referred to directly to a thoracic surgeon, often within the same week, and the Lung Center staff coordinates all testing and treatment. The center also works closely with the UPMC Cancer Center at UPMC Horizon, which offers medical oncology services at both UPMC Horizon campuses and radiation oncology services at its Shenango Valley campus, and the UPMC Horizon Regional Center for Sleep Disorders.
