Welcome to Penn State Hershey Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
Our training program combines faculty from both medicine and pediatrics to provide a pediatric and adult allergy and immunology experience. The balance between the two departments is approximately 50% pediatric and 50% adult, which ensures each individual’s experience is supported by the expertise needed to treat and care for all patients. We are excited to care for primary allergy patients, and referrals from primary care health care providers, as well as subspecialists in eye, nose and throat diseases, dermatologists, pulmonologists and other allergists.
