Pulmonologists,
allergists, respiratory therapists and sleep disorder specialists who practice
at Clarian help children and adults who suffer from allergies, asthma and other lung disorders. We treat asthma, wheezing,
coughing, chest pain, viral respiratory infections, structural abnormalities in
the respiratory system and chronic lung diseases. We also offer special
programs for children and adults with cystic fibrosis and sleep apnea. More than 30 million Americans live with
chronic lung diseases.
We continue to see more and more people in our asthma programs, pulmonary centers and sleep labs. The increases are due, in part, to increases in asthma cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 17 million Americans have asthma. Since 1980, asthma rates have increased 75 percent, and the death rate, while low, has doubled. Asthma is now one of the country's most common and costly diseases -- the third leading cause of preventable hospitalizations in the United States.
