Our mission is to achieve a supportive and safe home environment for chronically ill children and their families.
The Pediatric Pulmonary Chronic Care Program, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, offers nurturing and expert care to children who have chronic lung conditions. We work with all of your child’s healthcare providers to create a simplified treatment plan that addresses his or her complex medical needs.
Our program treats children diagnosed with conditions including cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, neurological impairments, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, a history of brain injury, as well as other conditions. We conduct inpatient sleep studies, and we are the only hospital in New York City able to provide this service to patients with tracheostomies.
You may consider an evaluation with one of our chronic care specialists if your child is experiencing any of the following:
Our main focus is on maintaining a safe environment for your child by preventing illness, reducing hospitalizations and readmissions, managing your medical equipment needs, and coordinating your child’s treatment services.
If your child needs to be admitted to the hospital, we help your family get the training needed for home care before your child is discharged. We schedule all follow-up visits and set up nursing services and any necessary medical equipment before your child leaves the hospital to ensure a smooth and seamless transition into your home.
