Children’s Pulmonary Institute

Excelling Asthma Care

Miller Children’s & Women’s remains the only free-standing children’s hospital in California to receive the Disease Specific Certification in Pediatric Asthma from The Joint Commission.

Fight Asthma Tracker

Our Fight Asthma Tracker alerts asthma patients to manage their health when asthma danger is high with an interactive website and phone text messages.

Asthma and COVID-19

The CDC has recently included patients with moderate to severe persistent asthma as having additional risk from COVID-19. We have put together some guidelines to help support your child's health.

Our Children's Pulmonary Institute has board-certified specialists in pulmonology, allergy and immunology who work together to treat and improve the quality of life for children and young adults with conditions involving the lungs and respiratory system, such as asthma, lung disease of premature infants, cystic fibrosis, allergies, sleep disorders and more.

Whether a child is in the hospital or receiving follow up care at one of our Outpatient Specialty Centers, they will be seen by the same care team, who are experts in their disease and know what the child needs to live a healthy and active life. Many of our patients stay with our care team from birth until they turn 21.
