Rare Lung Diseases Program

Finding the right care for your child with a rare lung disease can be challenging. Children's Hospital is one of the leading referral centers in the country for children with known or suspected rare lung diseases, including interstitial lung disease (ILD).

We work side-by-side with you and your child's medical providers to coordinate the best care possible for your child and family. Our team of experts provide evaluation and management for many rare lung diseases. We offer second opinions and other services and support to ensure the best respiratory health for our patients.

Once you receive a referral to our center, our program coordinator, Kathy Russell, will be your first point of contact with our team. She will obtain medical records, coordinate scheduling and help with any other administrative needs. Contact Kathy at:
