Cook Children's Pulmonology
The Cook Children's Pulmonary team diagnoses, evaluates, treats, and develops management plans for patients with lung and respiratory conditions.
Having pulmonary issues shouldn't have to mean missing out on the important experiences of childhood, like going off to summer camp. Camp Broncho provides children with asthma between the ages of 7 and 12 an opportunity to enjoy summer camp in a medically safe environment while learning how to care for and take ownership of their asthma.
