The Sleep Center at Children's Hospital was founded in 1981 to diagnose and treat infants with apnea. Since then, the Sleep Center has grown into a state-of-the-art facility, with specially trained staff who diagnose and treat children of all ages with respiratory, non-respiratory and behavioral sleep disorders.
In conjunction with the Medical College of Wisconsin, pulmonologists at Children's Hospital constantly are conducting research to develop better treatments, enabling them to stay on the cutting edge of the latest therapies. |
