Extreme weather, wildfires and climate change may be causing more intense or frequent symptoms. That’s why KFHC is offering virtual asthma classes for members. You can join these classes with the Zoom app. Classes are offered in English and Spanish. What are the class topics? Classes will focus on controlling asthma triggers, nontoxic cleaning, asthma medication— and more! You can also learn how to talk to your doctor or about programs that can help you live a cleaner lifestyle. When are the classes? Classes are offered every first and second Wednesday at 6 p.m. Go to kernfamilyhealthcare. com to see the class dates, times, languages and topics. Members who have asthma can receive a $15 gift card for each class they attend. Terms are subject to change. After attending an asthma class, members will receive followup calls to check their asthma control. Members can receive help with doctor appointments, medication prescriptions and referrals to asthma resources. DON’T WAIT: REGISTER TODAY!
