Looking After Your Family for 65+ Years

Our goal at Terrebonne General Health System is to help you breathe easier with the expert treatment from board-certified pulmonologists and respiratory therapists. Those suffering from problems breathing can feel like even ordinary activities are unbearable. Highly trained in acute and chronic lung conditions, our pulmonologists see patients affected with any lung problem, from asthma to pneumonia and anything else that hinders the ability to breathe, including lung cancer.

Breathe easier & get screened with our lung cancer screening program.

In partnership with our Cancer Center, our pulmonologists conduct a low-dose computed tomography, also called a low-dose CT scan. This screening is recommended only for adults who have no symptoms but are at high risk for developing lung cancer.

The scan only takes a few minutes and is not painful. You will lie on a table and an x-ray machine uses a low amount of radiation to make detailed images of your lungs.

When to get screened:

• Age 50-80
• Asymptomatic (no signs or symptoms of lung disease)
• Tobacco smoking history of at least 20 pack-years
• One pack-year=smoking one pack per day for one year (1 pack = 20 cigarettes)
• Current smoker or one who has quit smoking within the last 15 years
