We treat a wide range of respiratory symptoms and disorders, including:

• Asthma
• Chronic cough
• Congenital abnormalities of airway and lung development
• Cystic fibrosis
• Lung diseases of premature infants, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia
• Rare lung diseases, including interstitial lung disease and bronchiolitis obliterans

• Respiratory failure and ventilator dependency
• Sleep-disordered breathing, including central and obstructive apnea
• Wheezing

Our center includes a cystic fibrosis center, asthma education program, sleep center, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and pulmonary function testing lab.

Our center was funded in large part by a donation from Akron residents Donald and Marcia Stone to recognize the vision and work of Donald’s brother, Dr. Robert T. Stone. Dr. Stone was a member of Akron Children’s medical staff between 1967-2016. From 1972-98, he also served as medical director of the hospital’s Lewis H. Walker Cystic Fibrosis Center.
