Pediatric Home Ventilator Program
The University of Michigan's Pediatric Home Ventilator Program is one of the largest programs of its kind in the world. We deliver advanced multidisciplinary, coordinated care to children, adolescents and young adults who use a ventilator or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation device to assist with breathing. We also accept referrals from physicians across the state to perform preliminary evaluations on their patients.
By partnering with the Michigan Department of Community Health, we are able to provide care to more than 200 active patients throughout the state - that represents the largest population of ventilator-dependent children in Michigan .
In addition to providing comprehensive in-patient management services, outpatient clinics and therapies, we work closely with patients and their families to ensure the full range of medical, physical, social and emotional needs and concerns are addressed.
