One child at a time philosophy for asthma management
Comer Children’s Asthma Center is a multi-disciplinary, multi-center with a community outreach to improve asthma outcomes in the University of Chicago Medicine outreach area of Southside Chicago. The center works with partners to uphold four pillars of excellence: clinical excellence, education outreach, community involvement and exploration of mechanisms to increase knowledge and management of asthma (research).
As well as offering inpatient and outpatient care, the centre offers asthma screening in the schools to ensure that all kids who have asthma be identified & referred for appropriate care whether this is with a Pediatrician who has a special interest in asthma or an asthma specialist.
