Allergy & Asthma Clinic
 The Allergy and Asthma Clinic at Children's Hospital & Medical Center offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services for children with allergies and related diseases like asthma, as well as those with recurrent respiratory infections. Effective treatment and management of pediatric allergies is important to prevent the development of childhood asthma. In many cases, the two conditions go hand-in-hand with as many as 75 to 80 percent of people with asthma also having allergies. If not managed properly, asthma can be a life-threatening condition.
