Cystic Fibrosis Center
Through this center, our expert team offers the highest level of care for kids. We help kids transition to adult care and serve adults as well. Our goals are to help people with cystic fibrosis lead fulfilling lives and prevent their disease from progressing.
Pediatric Aerodigestive Clinic
This clinic treats children with complex airway, lung, digestive tract, sleep, feeding and voice disorders.
Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic
Pulmonary hypertension causes high blood pressure in your lungs. It can lead to heart failure. Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating this disorder in kids. It also provides support for children and their families.
Pediatric Tracheostomy Clinic
Children with a tracheostomy — a breathing tube placed in the windpipe through a hole in the neck — have many needs. Our clinic offers one-stop medical care to address them. We work with you to manage your child’s breathing, nutrition and growth, communication needs and more.
Research
We regularly participate in research to find better ways to diagnose and treat lung conditions such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. By participating in our clinical trials, your child may have access to exciting new therapies. You can also help us learn how to provide better care for other children and families dealing with lung disease.
