Pediatric Asthma Program
(732) 235-6230
With the incidence and prevalence of asthma increasing, the Asthma Program was established in 2005 to offer comprehensive assessment, lung involvement testing, and pulmonary function testing for children who suffer from asthma.
The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital is the only pediatric hospital in New Jersey that performs pulmonary function testing on patients younger than six years of age and one of only a handful that performs airways resistant checking on patients younger than six years.

Customized Care
Upon completion of allergy testing and an in-home inspection for allergens, a custom action plan tailored specifically to the patient’s individual needs is developed to outline the patient’s path of treatment. A copy is shared with the child’s school nurse as well as the patient’s primary physician.
Our specialized team will review the plan with the patient and their family to educate all involved with the patient’s care.
