Welcome to the Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine. Our mission encompasses activities in clinical care, basic science and clinical research, and education. Our faculty and fellows provide 24-hour, in-hospital coverage of the Medical Intensive Care Unit, and the Medical Stepdown Unit. Our in-house Pulmonary Consultation Service is respected for its outstanding quality of patient care and its responsiveness to both patients and to referring physicians.
The Pulmonary Procedure Suite and the Pulmonary Function Laboratory continue to provide high quality care to an increasing volume of patients. The Pulmonary Outpatient Practice functions on an open access group model in which patients are scheduled within 24 hours of a request.

Affiliations:
Our Division, under the leadership of Dr. Ronald G. Crystal, is affiliated with several other programs within Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Dr. Crystal is also the chairman of the Department of Genetic Medicine, and several of our faculty members share joint appointments in this Department, and participate in both its teaching and research activities. In addition, the Belfer Gene Therapy Core Facility and The Ansary Center for Stem Cell Therapeutics enable members of out Division to work with Weill Cornell scientists in the translation of bench research into clinical projects. Although the majority of our clinical service is performed at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Center, our clinicians also perform pulmonary consultations at the Hospital for Special Surgery, a nationally renowned hospital for individuals with rheumatologic or orthopedic disorders.
