Pulmonary Hypertension Program

The Pulmonary Hypertension Program provides both inpatient and outpatient care for children ages 0-18 with pulmonary hypertension.

Here, your child will be treated by a highly experienced and accomplished team. This team includes a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and critical care specialist, a board-certified pediatric pulmonologist and a nurse practitioner. The program treats all types of pulmonary hypertension and provides the full spectrum of care, including parenteral therapies and multiple drug therapies. Advanced imaging, such as  CT scans of the heart with 3-D modeling and cardiac MRI, is available.

Consultation for inpatient care is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Outpatient clinics are held twice a week and include additional satellite clinics.
