Allergy and Immunology
Helping Kids With Asthma, Allergies and More
If your child has asthma, an allergy, or a condition that affects the germ-fighting immune system, ¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· Children's Health specialists can help. Â
You may not know if your child has asthma or an allergy. We’ll ask you about symptoms and may do several kinds of tests to diagnose. Then we’ll give you detailed guidance on your child’s condition and come up with a treatment plan.Â
Allergy and immunology is a fast-growing field, and ¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· Children's is excited to be a national leader. Our doctors are teachers, authors, and innovators. In asthma, we have helped set the standards for care and we’re active in clinical trials. We’re learning every day what causes conditions like allergies and asthma, and we’re discovering new treatments. Â
We’re always seeking a better understanding of immune conditions, and how they affect kids’ lives and futures. ¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· Children's is committed to creating a healthier world for children, including yours. Â

Our Highlights
We offer the latest ways to diagnose and treat. We offer allergy testing and medicine challenges in the office. We do tests that let us see how well your child’s lungs are working. We use biologic treatments — special medicines made from protein in the body. We also have active clinical trials for asthma.Â
We work closely with families. We want kids to stay out of the hospital and be as healthy as possible. That’s why our team of doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists spend so much time teaching families about asthma and allergies and staying by their side during allergy testing.
We specialize in kids. Taking care of kids isn’t part of what we do. It’s all we do. Our teams understand the unique ways kids are affected by allergies and asthma, and we help make care less stressful for children and families.
