Salem Chest Specialists

Pulmonary Care

New Satellite Building

We have added a new satellite building located across the street from our main office at 2932 Lyndhurst Ave. This expansion increases our patient care capacity and improves access to services.

The satellite facility includes:

  • Clinical exam rooms

  • Pulmonary function testing

  • Select diagnostic services

X-ray imaging will continue to be provided at the main office.

Patients will be scheduled at the location that best fits their appointment type. Parking is available at both sites, and the satellite building is a short, accessible walk from the main office. For assistance with directions or questions about which location to use, please contact our scheduling team.

About Pulmonary Medicine at Salem Chest Specialists

Pulmonary medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases related to the lungs and breathing.

Salem Chest Specialists (SCS)—part of the Clinically Integrated Network of Novant Health (NH)—cares for patients with a full spectrum of pulmonary conditions. As part of the NH network, we maintain up‑to‑date electronic medical records using the EPIC-Dimensions system.

For education on common pulmonary diagnoses such as COPD, asthma, cough, or lung cancer, we encourage you to visit the patient education portal on our website.

SCS providers deliver:

  • Outpatient pulmonary services at two clinic locations in Winston-Salem

  • Inpatient pulmonary care at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center

We work closely with colleagues in Primary Care, Cardiology, ENT, Allergy, Oncology, and maintain a strong collaborative relationship with experts at the Derrick L. Davis Cancer Institute, including:

  • Medical Oncology

  • Radiation Oncology

  • Thoracic Surgery

  • Radiology

  • Supportive Care

This multidisciplinary approach ensures efficient, comprehensive care for patients with lung cancer.
