Dr. Jessica B. Badlam, MD

I'm a pulmonologist specializing in pulmonary medicine, pulmonary hypertension, and critical care. I’m dedicated to guiding patients through the complexities of their diagnosis and treatment, with the goal of achieving the best possible outcomes.Building lasting, therapeutic relationships with my patients is one of the most meaningful aspects of my work. I value mutual respect and open communication, and I strive to create opportunities for education and shared decision-making to achieve the best outcome.Since becoming director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Program in 2019, I’ve worked closely with our team to expand access to specialized therapies and enhance the quality of care we provide. This role has allowed me to pursue a long-standing goal: bringing advanced treatment options for pulmonary hypertension closer to home.Having grown up in northern New York, it’s especially meaningful to care for patients from the region I call home. There’s a deep sense of purpose and personal …satisfaction in delivering high-quality, specialized care to the community I know and love.
