We treat patients with both acute and chronic breathing problems in the Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota pulmonology and respiratory medicine program. Our asthma clinic is the largest pediatric asthma center in the state. Our Cystic Fibrosis Center – where kids with CF, a pulmonary related condition are seen, is in the top tier of cystic fibrosis centers in the Midwest. We’ve even been accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as a Translational and Therapeutics Development Center. That means we are able to offer leading-edge clinical trial drugs to patients.

We help children with chronic and acute lung problems breathe easier using the newest, most effective treatments. And we’re there with them every step of the way.
