Pediatric Pulmonology

If your child has breathing problems, or a problem with his or her lungs, the pediatric pulmonology team at Swedish has the experience and qualifications to treat your child. We diagnose, treat, and manage children from birth to 18 years old with breathing and lung diseases.

Conditions Treated
