ASHEBORO, NC — Randolph Health is proud to announce the strategic development of a comprehensive, 24/7 Pulmonology Program and Critical Care Medicine Service, marking a significant advancement in the specialized medical care available to our community.

"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Marri to lead the development of this transformative service line," said Kevin M. Spiegel, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer of Randolph Health. "Establishing a 24/7 critical care and pulmonology program is a monumental step forward for our hospital. Under Dr. Marri’s leadership, patients will benefit from a higher level of clinical sophistication, ensuring continuity of care for our most vulnerable patients without the need for unnecessary transfers."

Dr. Marri’s clinical proficiencies include advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided biopsies (EBUS), robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, percutaneous tracheotomies, and endobronchial valve placement. His leadership will not only enhance bedside care but will also focus on training, protocol development, and fostering collaboration across our multidisciplinary clinical teams.
