Cleveland Clinic Respiratory Institute

The Respiratory Institute at Cleveland Clinic treats a range of lung diseases, pulmonary disorders, and sleep disorders: allergies; asthma; bronchitis; COPD; cystic fibrosis; histoplasmosis; sarcoidosis; and sleep apnea, among many others.

Pulmonologists, critical care specialists, and allergists in Cleveland Clinic Department of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine have unparalleled expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases encompassed by their specialty. This expertise and experience attracts patients from all over the world who seek a definitive diagnosis or state-of-the-art treatments, from  respiratory diseases to primary pulmonary hypertension to allergy problems — often for a rare or complex lung disease or disorder.

During allergy season (March-November), allergists within the institute conduct an up-to-date pollen count. View the latest pollen count.

In January 2003, Cleveland Clinic established a Sarcoidosis Center to educate patients about the disease and develop new research projects that improve the understanding and treatment of sarcoidosis. Pulmonary physicians are also interested in educating patients about sarcoidosis and making resources available to the community.
