Pediatric Asthma Program

The Pediatric Asthma Program at Monroe Carell provides in-depth asthma evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for children and teenagers with asthma. We can help your child whether their asthma symptoms are mild, moderate or severe.

For children with mild to moderate asthma, our medical team provides testing, assessment and development of an ongoing care plan that is right for your child and family. Regular follow-ups ensure good symptom control and proper medication management.

Severe asthma care

For children with severe asthma, our experts deliver personalized care, education about disease management and trigger avoidance, and regular follow-up in our outpatient clinic. We consider the whole child, connecting you with other specialists at Monroe Carell in a way that is convenient and personal.

Treatment at our severe asthma clinic requires a referral from a pediatric asthma, allergy or pulmonary health care provider.
