About this clinic

The goal of the clinic is to improve the quality of life for people diagnosed with asthma. Our collaborative care model means as patients, you are directly involved in the decisions about your care.

Under the leadership of Dr. Del Dorscheid, and in collaboration with other doctors interested in asthma care, the mission of the asthma clinic is to provide state-of-the-art asthma care. The clinic also conducts research and evaluates new therapies.

Wednesday afternoons and all day Thursday.

Note: Patients participating in research studies are seen on Wednesday morning.

St. Paul’s Hospital and Providence Health Care are committed to researching new solutions to help people with breathing conditions.
