Services

The Pulmonary Habilitation Program currently coordinates the care of more than 50 children at home on ventilator support. Services include the 6-bed inpatient Transitional Care Unit (TCU) and outpatient pulmonary and pulmonary habilitation clinics. The program manages ventilator care for some of the most complex cases in the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Directed by Zehava Noah, MD, with assistance from nurse practitioner Cindy Budek and staff members from Respiratory Therapy and Case Management, the Pulmonary Habilitation Program is the largest of its kind in Illinois and one of the largest in the nation.
