Pediatric Tracheostomy & Home Ventilator Program

Caring for a Child with a Tracheostomy

Taking care of a child with a tracheostomy requires a dedicated team of medical experts willing to partner with a family to provide the best care possible for each child.

Our medical providers, from multiple specialties, come together to form an integrated team of professionals who are interested in all aspects of your child's tracheostomy care.

• Our #1 priority is safety.
• We care for over 100 children in Western and Central New York with Tracheostomies.
• We provide multiple specialist visits during one trip to the hospital (ENT, pulmonary, respiratory therapy, nursing). 
• If your child needs surgery, we will coordinate it to minimize the number of procedures they need.
• We establish continuity of care from inpatient to outpatient. If your child needs to be admitted we will see them throughout the hospital stay and then as an outpatient. We want to make sure that you feel confident providing safe care for your child's tracheostomy at home.
