Chair of Pediatrics

National Jewish is proud to announce NJ4kids - a program of dedicated care from America's best pediatric specialists. NJ4kids is unique, comprehensive, effective and available only at National Jewish, the #1 respiratory hospital in the country*.

With NJ4kids, we have created an environment in response to the increasing demand from parents and patients for treatment of asthma, atopic dermatitis, food allergies, rhinitis, immune problems and recurrent infections - all diseases that are increasing at alarming rates throughout the country.

By and large, NJ4kids is about reorganizing and enhancing what we already have and increasing our capabilities to make it better for the patients and their families. This will translate into better patient diagnosis, advanced diagnostic testing, individualized therapeutic interventions, outcome monitoring, and communication with families and their physicians..

Our goals are to grow as leaders in these areas using the most advanced technologies and interventions as well as bridging clinical and basic research. This is all in keeping with the cohesive strategic plan developed for the Department of Pediatrics and National Jewish.
