2 years of Virginia Lung 💚

It is hard to believe it has already been two years.

When Virginia Lung opened, we wanted to create a place where patients feel listened to, cared for, and supported through each step of their lung and sleep care.

Today, we are grateful for every patient, family member, referring provider, and team member who has been part of this journey.

These behind-the-scenes photos show a little of what happens every day at Virginia Lung. Teamwork. Care. A few laughs. And a shared commitment to helping people breathe easier.

Thank you for trusting us and allowing us to care for this community.

Here’s to what comes next.

National Allergy Day is a reminder to pay attention to symptoms your body may be trying to explain.

Sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, a runny nose, skin irritation, hives, or swelling can all be signs of allergies. Common triggers include pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, certain foods, and insect stings.

Sometimes, allergy symptoms can overlap with asthma symptoms. 🤧 Allergies often affect the nose, eyes, and skin. Asthma affects the lungs and may cause coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath.

If your symptoms keep coming back, worsen around certain triggers, or affect your breathing, Virginia Lung can help you better understand what is going on and guide you toward the right care plan. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Take care of your lung health.
