Jacqueline Pongracic, MD Division Head, Allergy and Immunology

The Division of Allergy and Immunology at Children's Memorial Hospital uses an integrated team approach to the care of children with asthma and other allergic conditions. The dedication of the team's physicians, pediatric nurse practitioners and the support provided by the office staff ensures the best possible care for affected children.

In addition to the integrated team approach to the care of children with asthma and other allergic conditions, the division also specializes in the treatment of food allergies.

The first of its kind in Illinois, the Bunning Food Allergy Institute seeks to improve the lives of children and families affected by food allergies and establish Children's Memorial Hospital as a center of clinical excellence.
