Asthma: Mild to Major – Myths, Medications & Management

While asthma onset often begins in childhood, it can begin at any age,
affecting approximately 1 in 13 people. According to the Allergy and Asthma
Foundation of America, in 2022, Black females were more than three times as
likely to die from asthma than White males. There is no cure for asthma, but
it can be managed.

Join Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech & the Good Life on Roosevelt
Island Association for a virtual session, exploring asthma – from minor cases
to life-threatening attacks – including its risk factors and symptoms, as well
as treatment options. This session also seeks to address commons myths and
misconceptions about asthma.

This event is FREE and open to the public

We hope you will join us virtually!

Thursday, November 21 || 5:00 – 6:00 PM Presented by:
