About the Unit

Pediatric Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine is a specialty department located at Helen Devos Children’s Care Center at 35 Michigan St NE, Suite 3003 Grand Rapids MI 49503. This serves as our primary location, but we also have outreach locations in Traverse City and Lansing. Our specialists offer a broad range of treatments and procedures aimed at helping patients breathe more easily. We address a wide variety of respiratory conditions, from minor infections to chronic, complex, and rare disorders.

An exciting highlight of our department is that Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital is a nationally accredited cystic fibrosis care center, leading the most current cystic fibrosis specialty research as a Therapeutic Development Network Center designated by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This means we bring cutting-edge research and new therapies directly to our local cystic fibrosis community.

Additionally, we offer the only pediatric sleep program in West Michigan, flexible bronchoscopy to examine and treat complex airway problems, and a special breathing test tailored for young children or those with special needs. For technology-dependent children, we provide a pediatric home ventilator clinic. We also take pride in having the only pediatric pulmonary function testing lab in West Michigan.

The role of the MA is crucial in supporting the provider team and the clinic. They are responsible for rooming patients, facilitating patient flow in the clinic, handling patient checkouts and scheduling follow-up appointments in the exam room, administering vaccines, preparing charts, and performing additional administrative tasks.
