Montefiore Cough Center is marking its 20th anniversary as a national leader in the research and treatment of chronic cough, one of the most common and yet overlooked ailments in the United States.
The center is a leader in cough research and the only one of its kind in New York State, and one of a few nationwide to offer health services exclusively for chronic cough.
“Inadequately treated cough can persist for years, even decades, and have a devastating effect not only on the life of the suffering patient, but on family members and coworkers as well,” Peter Dicpinigaitis, MD, Founder and Director, Montefiore Cough Center, Attending Physician, Division of Critical Care, Montefiore Einstein, and Professor, Medicine (Critical Care), Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
