The Sarah Nash Children's Lung and Asthma Center was established in 1999 and is a site that houses pediatric laboratories, offices, exam rooms, and space for professional and family conferences.

Faculty members are actively involved in teaching throughout the metropolitan area. Physicians at the Center most commonly see children with a diagnosis of asthma. At the initial visit, a complete history and physical, and measurement of lung function, is performed in children over five years of age. When necessary, lung function is measured in infants, as well. Each family of a child with asthma is given a detailed explanation of the disease along with a written asthma action plan describing medication modalities at the child's level of understanding. A written report is sent back to the primary care provider after each visit, noting the action plan.

Children who receive care in the Asthma Center are often candidates for clinical trials. These trials are of new therapies for children with asthma, and afford children access to the latest therapy before it becomes widely available.
