Essex Pulmonary Associates announced today that it will become a practice of Lahey Health. As a result, the practice will change its name to Lahey Pulmonary, Beverly.
“Our patients will continue to receive care for their pulmonary problems in our local community,” said Pulmonologist Jeffrey B. Newton, MD, FCCP. “However, this new affiliation will provide our patients with easier access to specialized diagnostic procedures and specialty referrals, which are currently not available locally.”
