- Virtua’s lung nurse navigator will guide you through the entire process.

“ A lung screening saved my life! It’s alarming to think that I would have been walking around with no idea that cancer was growing inside of me – until it was too late. I’m so grateful to the team at Virtua.”
- Teresa N.
Teresa’s early-stage cancer was successfully removed and her lung function preserved thanks to a lung screening and Virtua’s experienced thoracic surgery team. Today she is on the move and breathing easier.
