Spring Forward is more than lost sleep—it can affect breathing, energy, and routines. Here’s how to stay steady.

Patients with severe emphysema now have access to an innovative treatment option thanks to advancements at Northside Hospital Gwinnett. Dr. Prasad Garimella, interventional pulmonologist and leader of the Lung Nodule Clinic, is helping bring endobronchial valve therapy to patients who struggle with severe COPD and emphysema.
This minimally invasive procedure places tiny one-way valves in damaged areas of the lung, allowing trapped air to escape and redirecting airflow to healthier tissue. The result for many patients can be easier breathing, reduced shortness of breath, and a better quality of life.

Dr. Garimella and the interventional pulmonary team at Northside Gwinnett are committed to delivering advanced treatments with compassionate, personalized care — helping patients feel more comfortable in their daily lives while avoiding more invasive surgery.
