Dr. Lorelei Bourla Joins Saratoga Hospital to Lead New Allergy And Clinical Immunology Practice
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y., August 19 2020—Dr. Lorelei Bourla has joined Saratoga Hospital to lead the latest addition to its multidisciplinary medical group: Saratoga Hospital Medical Group – Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
The new practice provides care for patients of all ages who have asthma, allergies and other conditions caused by problems with the body’s immune system. These types of disorders are on the rise. Although most cannot be cured, treatments can help relieve and manage symptoms.
“These conditions can take a toll on individual and community health,” said Dr. Richard Falivena, vice president and chief m
edical and physician integration officer at Saratoga Hospital. “Our new practice will increase access to care for these patients and help them improve and enjoy day-to-day life.
“Dr. Lorelei Bourla is an excellent choice to launch this effort,” he added. “She has the clinical expertise and takes the time to get to know and understand the ‘whole patient,’ not just his or her condition.”
Bourla earned her medical degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. After an internship and residency at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, she completed a fellowship in adult allergy and clinical immunology at National Jewish Health in Denver. She is board certified in allergy and immunology and in internal medicine.
Saratoga Hospital Medical Group – Allergy and Clinical Immunology is located on Saratoga Hospital’s Wilton campus at 3044 Route 50 in Saratoga Springs. For an appointment, call 518-886-5814. To learn more, go to www.saratogahospital.org.
