Asthma Program and Ventilator Clinic
Any types of respiratory disease can be scary. Our Pediatric Pulmonology Center hopes to ease some of that anxiety by providing education as a valuable part of our services. We want all children and families to understand their conditions and all aspects of managing those conditions. Home Ventilator Clinic meets twice a month to help address the needs of these children and families. Using a ventilator to breathe at home involves special respiratory issues and needs. Our group is very experienced and has many resources for the family.
