Kingsbrook Hosts Asthma Screening Week March 26-30th

12/22/2017

Brooklyn, NY-- Kingsbrook's Best Health School provides free education and early detection options for Central Brooklyn residents all year round. On March 26-30 free asthma screenings will be held for the entire week, from 11:00-2:00pm in the Respiratory (Department DMRI 5th Floor) on our main campus at 585 Schenectady Avenue between Winthrop Street & Rutland Road.

Asthma impacts a large part of the Central Brooklyn community and needs a level of treatment and understanding that is critical for living a normal healthy life. The American lung Association describes, asthma as a lifelong disease that causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. It can limit a person's quality of life.

Make sure you are aware of all the signs of asthma by taking part in our screening process.

For more information about this screening event, please call the Kingsbrook Community Information Line at 718-604-5062.
