The University of Chicago also maintains a fully accredited Cystic Fibrosis Center that provides specialized care to patients and families with cystic fibrosis. The Center has been continuously approved and funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation since 1967.
The University of Chicago Allergy/Immunology Research Registry is a database that is made up of people who have volunteered to consider participation in research studies for themselves or their children. Its goal is to quickly and efficiently bring together medical research and those who may benefit from medical research.
UChicago Medicine, in partnership with La Rabida Children’s Hospital, Friend Family Health Center and St. Bernard Hospital, developed the South Side Pediatric Asthma Center. It provides collaborative, innovative and high-quality care to improve asthma management among South Side children.
