Our Mission

The Breathe Chicago Center© (BCC) is a clinical research program within the division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep and Allergy at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We conduct health services research and clinical trials that are aimed at improving health care delivery and testing new treatment options for patients with asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Our mission is to provide those with lung disease access to cutting edge research and education to better manage their condition. Along with the University of Illinois Health System, the BCC promotes healthier communities for a healthier city.
