FACTS:
The Breathmobile will visit schools in Baltimore City to assess individuals identified to be at high risk for asthma and allergic diseases due to limited access to care and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The breathmobile will house a doctor specializing in asthma treatment, a nurse, respiratory therapist and patient service worker to be on board the mobile unit during each visit.
In the Baltimore City/Washington D.C. area, asthma prevalence has been shown to be as high as 20%. In many hospitals, it is the number one reason for pediatric emergency visits.
Treated children and adults will receive follow-up visits by the Breathmobile staff to ensure that their health management plan is effective, their medical care needs are being met and that their individual management plan is in place.
