What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic condition that makes it difficult for children to breathe. Tubes called airways carry air in and out of our lungs. In children with asthma, these airways react to certain triggers and restrict a child's ability to breathe normally.

Asthma affects more than 7 million children in the U.S. and is one of the leading causes of hospitalization for children. Asthma symptoms in kids can be controlled with treatment, but it can cause scary and life-threatening experiences if not treated.

There are many types of asthma, and our team of specialists have the expertise to make accurate diagnoses and determine treatment plans for any type of pediatric asthma.
