How does the program work? The mobile asthma clinic visits schools on a rotating schedule every 4 to 6 weeks.
Children at high risk for asthma and allergies are offered a medical examination. Based on history and the examination the children are invited to participate in the program. The mobile clinic is staffed by Stanley P. Galant, M.D. board certified asthma and allergy specialist, and by Yolanda Becerril, RN., PNP
