Although we love writing about our days at school sites and showing our BreatheEasy readers photos, we also know that sometimes watching a short “film” and listening to the story is very important. Sure, we can tell you about our day, but why not have the people we are helping tell the story for us [...]
The Northern California Breathmobile rolls into West Contra Costa County and Bayview Hunters Point Mike Tringale, the Vice President of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America said, “There is no such thing as an asthma-free city.” Although this statement seems simple and to the point, it actually points to a sad reality of [...]

Wow, what an amazing welcome we had in Bayview Hunters Point tonight! Around 500 people showed up at BVHP’s Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church, so boy did we have an audience! Fortunately, the crowed was a diverse one. There was a good mix of men and women, and of varying ages. It was raining a lot, so we were very appreciative that congregation members [...]
Our West Contra Costa County new-school visits continued with Lake Elementary today.

The areas in which the Breathmobile operates have large Latino populations, and data shows that Latino children show higher [...]
As sunny, pollen-y, grassy Spring rears its allergen-ridden head, we are all the more happy about having an allergist/immunologist on the Breathmobile. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of being aware of your child’s allergies. Please take advantage of the allergy tests we administer on the Breathmobile. Allergies cause asthma attacks and many, many allergy induced asthma attacks [...]

We found some interesting facts, and were definitely impressed that some of the most legendary stars of the silver screen and some of the most talented entertainment [...]
There are a lot of people with asthma. This is a fact. There are a lot of people in the US who are either overweight or obese. Fact. One has nothing to do with the other. False! So you may be thinking, what does what my child eat or how they spend their free time have to do with [...]
