Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital Launches Pulmonary Care Program

Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital in Lawrence Twp. has launched a specialized Pulmonary Care program under the direction of pulmonologist Zeeshan Khan, DO, FCCP. Part of the 40-acre Lawrence healthcare campus, the 116-bed Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital, located at 2381 Lawrenceville Road, provides acute and short-term subacute care.

Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital’s Pulmonary Care services aim to reduce pulmonary symptoms, decrease disability, increase participation in physical and social activities, and promote independence and quality of life. The initiative caters to individuals with a range of diagnoses and conditions.

Dr. Khan is board certified in pulmonary disease, critical care medicine and sleep medicine. He serves as the medical director of the Institute for Sleep Medicine at Deborah Heart and Lung Center and of the Sleep Center of Bucks County. In addition, Dr. Khan is an intensivist at St. Mary Medical Center and a partner at Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Associates in Newtown.

“Lawrence’s comprehensive pulmonary rehab services are tailored to address the individual needs of each patient with a chronic lung condition, with the goal to make breathing easier and improve wellbeing and quality of life,” said Erin Popelak, regional director of market development at Marquis Health Consulting Services, which supports the facility. “The team at Lawrence is pleased to have Dr. Khan lead its new Pulmonary Care initiative. He is highly regarded for both his medical expertise and leadership acumen.”

In addition to consults with Dr. Khan, Lawrence pulmonary patients benefit from non-invasive ventilation support and 24/7 access to lab and radiology services. An extensive range of therapy services is available seven days per week.

The Lawrence healthcare campus has a rich legacy, having been in operation for decades. In addition to Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital, the campus includes skilled nursing care at Lawrence Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center and cottage-style, long-term skilled nursing at The Meadows at Lawrence. The continuing care campus also includes assisted living at The Terraces at Lawrence. A campus-wide modernization and programming enhancement is underway.
