Ranked 18th in the nation, the Division of Pulmonary Medicine at Children's Memorial cares for more children with lung and breathing-related conditions (an area of study known as pediatric pulmonology) than any other health care facility in Chicago.  Pulmonary care here was also recognized as one of the the nation's top 10 providers by Child Magazine. 

Our clinical services include a cystic fibrosis center, bronchoscopy services, a full-service pulmonary function laboratory, a pulmonary physiology laboratory, a program for children with complicated ventilator needs, and a sleep medicine center . Children's Memorial has one of the only two accredited training programs in Chicago that teach physicians the most effective ways of treating children with lung and breathing-related disorders.
