Children's Hospital at SUNY

Brooklyn, New York

The physicians at the Children's Hospital at SUNY encompass virtually every pediatric medical and surgical sub-specialty. The Hospital provides the most sophisticated, state of the art medical care available in Brooklyn for the children who suffer from acute or chronic medical and surgical problems. The pediatric faculty of Brooklyn's only medical school takes pride in their role of pediatrics caregivers for all the children of Brooklyn and also as teachers of medical students, supervisors of pediatric trainees and referral resources for their physician colleagues in the community. In April 1996, SUNY Downstate Medical Center created a comprehensive pediatric asthma clinic where patients, their families and community members can be evaluated, instructed in medication and management and become better educated about asthma triggers.
