Augusta, Ga (Denise Parrish) – Children’s Hospital of Georgia will provide free asthma screenings and education from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Kroc Center, 1833 Broad St. The event is funded by a grant from the Kohls Cares® program. (PRUEBA GRATUITA DEL ASMA ESTE SABADO EN EL KROC CENTER DE AUGUSTA) “Asthma affects more than 225,000 children in Georgia, and we want to do everything we can to provide education for patients and families,” said Jennifer Anderson, Director of Respiratory Care Services at Children’s Hospital of Georgia. “Our goal is to help patients manage their asthma and prevent adverse events.” Asthma is a lifelong disease that targets the lungs, causing wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. Asthma triggers include smoke, mold, pet dander and air pollution. Although there is no cure, most people can control symptoms and prevent asthma attacks by avoiding triggers and correctly using prescribed medicine.
