Pulmonology

Respiratory diseases affect all aspects of a patient’s life. We help them find relief with a complete range of care and ongoing follow-up. Our highly trained pulmonologists and clinical staff treat approximately 15,000 patients a year with respiratory diseases and disorders.

If your child has a condition affecting their lungs and breathing, you know it can impact every aspect of life, from playing with friends to learning at school. At Phoenix Children’s, we are here to help – whether your child has a common condition such as asthma or pneumonia or is living with a something more complex such as cystic fibrosis or bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Building Healthier Communities

Our asthma program hits the road all year long, thanks to the Breathmobile! This mobile asthma unit provides testing, treatment and support for children with asthma in Phoenix’s underserved inner city, where asthma rates are highest. We’re having an impact in these communities: Reports indicate a 70% drop in emergency room visits due to asthma and a 73% drop in asthma-related hospital stays.
