Children's Memorial Hospital has the largest pulmonary practice and one of only two accredited training programs in Pediatric Pulmonology in Chicago.  Our clinical facilties include:

•  a Cystic Fibrosis center with approximately 200 patients
• a full Pediatric Pulmonology consultative service
• a flexible bronchoscopy service
• a full pulmonary function laboratory including spirometry, plethysmography, diffusion capabilities
• a pulmonary exercise laboratory. 

Complimentary programs include a program in sleep medicine with a four-bed sleep unit and two full-time sleep medicine physicians, and a pulmonary habilitative care program providing full service care to ventilator dependent patients.  We have five full-time faculty involved in the pulmonary program, one dedicated sleep medicine faculty, as well as seven faculty primarily dedicated to critical care medicine, one nurse practitioner, two full-time nurses, and a full laboratory staff.  Clinical facilities include a pulmonary inpatient unit and outpatient facilities at Children's Memorial Hospital and its satellite locations. 

Investigators in the Department of Pediatrics and other departments at Northwestern University support laboratory and clinical research in Pediatric Pulmonology.  Basic research laboratories are based both at the Children’s Memorial Research Center, immediately adjacent to the Children’s Memorial Hospital, and at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.  Opportunities for clinical research are abundant and active support for these programs are present at Children’s.  Full-time faculty of the program are all actively engaged in clinical and/or basic research.
