The Asthma and Allergy Center
|
Respiratory diseases affect more than 35 million people in the
United States. Half of those who suffer are children. In addition,
it is estimated that 50 percent of respiratory disease sufferers
improperly treat their conditions.
|
The Asthma and Allergy Center at Hasbro Children's Hospital, directed by Robert Klein,
MD, is dedicated to providing patients with superior asthma, allergy and
pulmonary care. The center implements individualized medical treatment plans to help the
patient control his or her chronic condition.
Because patients and their families are an important part of the
team, we provide education about the respiratory diseases that
affect their lives.
Our Services
The Asthma and Allergy Center is part of Hasbro Children's
Hospital, Rhode Island's only pediatric facility. The hospital has adopted a "parents as partners"
philosophy that encourages parents to participate in their child's
care throughout his or her stay.
In addition to our physician specialists, the center
has two nurse practitioners, as well as staff nurses. They are all nationally certified
asthma educators. Three additional
nationally certified asthma educators staff our community asthma
education and prevention program.
For more information, contact the center at 401-793-8560.
