Why Choose Us for Your Child's Care

NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is one of the few centers in the New York metropolitan area able to measure and monitor lung function in children of any age -- including infants (using special equipment for those tiny patients).
The Sue and John L. Weinberg Cystic Fibrosis Center is among the top five centers in median lung function in the United States. Together with the Sarah E. Nash Children's Lung Center, they form a tertiary center for the full range of acute and chronic respiratory diseases in infants, children, and adolescents. Specialists have expertise in the treatment of asthma, cystic fibrosis, lung injury, recurrent pneumonia and disorders of respiratory control.
The Division's Exercise Physiology Laboratory is among the few such laboratories in the Northeast that provides non-invasive measurement of heart and lung function during progressive exercise in children and adolescents.
The Pulmonology Division performs flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy in infants and children of any age. This can usually be done on an ambulatory basis. Working with the Department of Anesthesiology, these are performed under conditions felt to be safest for the patient, yet allowing the child to breathe spontaneously and improve the diagnostic yield of the procedure.

One Hosptial affilitated with two Ivy League Medical Schools: Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Among the nation's best in patient care, medical education, and research.
