Founded by Dr. Vijay Balasubramanian, MD (Founder & Medical Director), the Valley Advanced Lung Disease Institute (VALDI) was established to deliver the highest standard of care for patients with complex and progressive lung conditions across California’s Central Valley.

 

VALDI specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of advanced lung diseases including Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), Sarcoidosis, and other chronic respiratory disorders.

 

From initial diagnosis to advanced therapies and transplant coordination, VALDI provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care throughout every stage of the disease. Many patients begin their journey here after being referred by pulmonologists from across the region for persistent respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath or chronic cough.

 

Patients benefit not only from Dr. Bala’s nationally recognized expertise, but also from a dedicated team of specialists, clinicians, and academic partners who collaborate closely with families to build personalized care plans that prioritize both clinical outcomes and quality of life.
