Our pulmonologists employ their years of experience and
access to the latest in diagnostic equipment and technology
to treat children with chronic lung conditions, such as:
- Asthma – For patients with mild,
moderate or severe asthma, we provide diagnosis and treatment
and teach the patient and his/her family how to manage
and control the disease.
- Cough – Patients with acute, long-lasting
cough are often referred to our physicians for evaluation
of this often difficult to diagnose problem.
- Chronic lung disease (CLD) or bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) – Our pulmonologists work
with Neonatal Intensive Care Units in our hospitals and
surrounding hospitals to evaluate and treat premature
infants who are at risk for developing long-term respiratory
problems. For those babies who go home from the hospital
on heart/respiratory monitors, we follow their progress
and assist the patient’s neonatologist and/or pediatrician
in their care.
- Cystic
Fibrosis - Our Cystic Fibrosis Centers are among the select few cystic fibrosis centers in the state of New Jersey and among 115 centers that have been accredited by the national Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation. Our Centers provide a fully array of services for children, including transitional care and adult care to the ever growing number of patients who survive into adulthood.
