*The Pulmonary Care office moved to the Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower on Floor 5 in Suite 5900. More information below.
Vail Health’s Pulmonology program is proud to offer services in our new Dillon Health Center as well as in Vail (see new location information below). Highlighted pulmonary offerings include bronchoscopies at Vail Health, in-clinic spirometry testing and diagnostic six-minute walks. Many of these services are not typically available in a small rural community like ours, but Vail Health believes in offering health care services where our residents live, work and play.
The expanded pulmonology program will be led by Dr. Joseph Forrester and Dr. Chakradhar Kotaru from Critical Care & Pulmonary Consultants, with the support of three additional physicians to ensure a full rotation of services.
Both physicians are board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease, sleep medicine and critical care. Dr. Forrester will be seeing patients in our Vail office once a month and in our new Dillon Health Center once a month. Dr. Kotaru will also be seeing patients in our Vail office once a month.

Pulmonology Relocated to 5th Floor in Suite 5900 of Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower
The Cardiovascular Center & Pulmonology services offered in Vail relocated to the new 5th floor of the Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower. Relocating these services to the East Wing Tower positions them closer to the Emergency Department and Imaging, while facilitating patient navigation between Vail Health Surgical Associate services and other hospital offerings.
Accessing the New East Wing Tower
To access the Vail Health Hospital East Wing Tower, patients should park in the Vail Health Hospital parking garage and take elevator E for direct access up to the 5th floor. Complimentary valet parking is also available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the main entrance of Vail Health Hospital, located off S. Frontage Road.
Once in the hospital, way-finding support will be available via volunteers stationed along the patient pathway as well as through digital way-finding solutions using smartphone technology (vailhealth.org/wayfinding). We look forward to sharing our new space with you!
