New Pediatric Allergy Clinic Opens at Clinton Crossings, Expanding Care for Children with Complex Allergies
Monday, February 2, 2026
The Division of Pediatric Allergy & Immunology at Golisano Children’s Hospital has opened a new, dedicated clinic space at Clinton Crossings, Building F, designed to support children and families seeking specialty allergy care.
Located at 2400 South Clinton Avenue, Building F, the new clinic provides the division with its first, fully sized permanent home, allowing the care team to better manage high demand, improve clinic flow, and expand key services.
Previously, the pediatric allergy team operated in temporary or shared clinical settings, including a former location at the Schottland YMCA. While those spaces allowed the team to meet patient needs, the new facility expands the number of dedicated rooms from seven to nine.
“We have always focused on delivering high-quality, evidence-based care for children with allergic conditions,” said Kirsi Järvinen-Seppo, M.D., Ph.D., chief of Pediatric Allergy & Immunology. “This new clinic finally gives us the space we need to care for patients more efficiently and thoughtfully.”
In addition to more exam rooms, the new space includes an observation area that allows multiple procedures to take place simultaneously. With these improvements, the team can serve a higher volume of patients and follow-ups while also increasing access to specialized procedures such as oral food challenges, oral immunotherapy, and drug challenges.
The new facility also allows the division to resume spirometry and pulmonary function testing, an essential component of asthma care that had been unavailable for several years due to space limitations.
“Being able to bring pulmonary function testing back into our clinic is a meaningful improvement for families managing asthma,” Järvinen-Seppo said. “It allows us to provide more complete care during a single visit, rather than sending families elsewhere.”
The Division of Pediatric Allergy & Immunology provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for children with asthma, food allergies, eczema, environmental allergies, immune deficiencies, and related conditions, working closely with families and referring providers across the region.
