The Pulmonary Division, at the Indiana University School of Medicine, has collaborated with several of its subspecialty partners to develop specialized programs for care of patients with sarcoidosis. Patients are initially evaluated by our pulmonologists who are considered "Sarcoidologists." Once the patient has been evaluated, a plan of care is established to meet the specific needs of the patient and to create the most effective, personalized treatment plan.

- Patients with sarcoidosis
- newly diagnosed as having sarcoidosis and would like a second opinion

- any patient interested in participating in research protocols designed to further our understanding of sarcoidosis (not all patients will be eligible)
- Physicians

- Indiana physicians who would like BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) cellular differential and interpretation
What Do We Offer?
- education for patients, trainees, and physicians
