If you have a patient experiencing chronic pneumonia, you know treating the systemic cause of their infection can greatly reduce future episodes. The Gillette Aerodigestive Clinic offers insight on aspiration and infectious pneumonia.

Excessive drooling can cause a number of problems for patients and their families. Pragmatic management of saliva cannot only reduce the risk of pulmonary illness, but it can also help patients thrive in mainstream activities. 

If you suspect your patient suffers from pulmonary aspiration, the Gillette Aerodigestive Clinic can help. Learn more about this serious condition and our multidisciplinary approach to care.

In October 2017, Gillette opened an Aerodigestive Clinic at our St. Paul campus. Aerodigestive conditions involve disorders of the respiratory and digestive systems, including the mouth, throat, lungs and esophagus.
