We were fortunate enough to get multiple testimonies on May 9th, which was the Breathmobile’s first day at Bayview Elementary. Bayview Elementary is our second school in San Pablo, and we are thrilled to help more families in West Contra Costa County. In addition to the school principal and the school secretary, Dr. Piltch, the doctor on [...]
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 [...]

Our West Contra Costa County new-school visits continued with Lake Elementary today. It was our first ever visit in San Pablo, and the Breathmobile, along with the school officials, were very excited to get the day started.

We have spent many a Facebook, Twitter, and blog post explaining the importance of knowing [...]
Spanish speaking parents and children make up a large percentage of the patients we see. As a matter of fact, almost every parent we saw on our first day at Highland in Richmond was Spanish speaking. The areas in which the Breathmobile operates have large Latino populations, and data shows that Latino children show higher [...]
So many people we saw last month came to their appointments today at Woodrow Wilson Elementary…which means people are taking their follow-ups seriously. Today our Breathmobile team consisted of Dr. Piltch, Lisa our medical assistant, James (who did some translating today, Thanks James!), and Nurse Spencer. Making sure you come to your follow ups once a month is a [...]
The end of this week was the beginning of something big. Today was our first day in West Contra Costa County, at Highland Elementary in Richmond. Nestled atop a grassy hill, Highland Elementary was busy and bustling with parents dropping off their children in the early hours of the morning. It was a crisp, sunny [...]
It was a surprisingly warm day in the city, the sun was shining on Gilman Street, Candlestick Park was jetting out behind us …and the Breathmobile staff was buzzing with excitement. The sound of babies and toddlers laughing and cooing from FranDelJA and children laughing and starting classes across the street at Bret Harte Elementary greeted us. After months of making arrangements, [...]
