The Center for Infant Pulmonary Disorders at Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics is a recognized leader in researching and improving treatments for chronic lung diseases in infants.

Our team is involved with ongoing studies to discover new treatment methods that improve quality of life for newborns with pulmonary conditions.

Research Initiatives

The center continually pursues new studies which combine in-depth research and potentially effective clinical treatments to minimize the short-term and lifelong effects of pulmonary disorders. Our team also provides long-term follow-up assessments to help maintain long-term health. 

Multidisciplinary Approach

We focus on improving infant health by partnering with other neonatologists as well as specialists in pulmonology, immunology, pharmacology, outcomes research and other disciplines. The support provided by the center blends with and supplements new and ongoing externally funded clinical and translational research.
