Pediatric asthma care for all of eastern North Carolina.
The ECU Health Pediatric Asthma Program accepts referrals and provides case management services across our entire 29-county service area. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists – comprised of a physician, nurses, respiratory care managers and social workers – works to reduce ED and inpatient admissions, decrease school absences and increase quality of life for asthmatic children, ages 0-17, in eastern North Carolina.
