Phoenix Area Allergists Participate in 2011 Asthma Screening Program

Dr. Miriam Anand, Local Area Coordinator, Dr. Suresh Anand, Dr. Earl Labovitz, and Dr. Aaron Davis helped in this important public service campaign to promote early detection and effective treatment of asthma. The program is conducted by the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and is also sponsored by TEVA Pharmaceuticals.

During the asthma screenings, people with breathing problems were able to take a health assessment survey and a spirometry test, and receive information on whether they should seek an appointment with an Allergist for a diagnosis. People previously diagnosed as asthmatic were able to assess whether their disease is under control.
