The Breathmobile® is an “asthma clinic on wheels” sponsored by the Prescott-Joseph Center. It provides diagnosis, education, treatment, and medications to children with asthma and allergies at their school site. The Breathmobile® provides regular visits of asthma specialists to schools.

• The first Breathmobile® was launched in Southern California on November 16, 1995.
• The Breathmobile® resembles the inside of a doctor’s office and is staffed with a board-certified allergist, or other asthma specialist, licensed registered nurse, respiratory therapist, and a patient services representative. 
• Medical care provided on the Breathmobile® includes history and physical exams, free medications (when available), and spirometry.
• There is no cost for children to be seen on the Breathmobile® at their school sites. All services are provided to families at NO CHARGE

Evaluation studies have demonstrated dramatic health improvements for patients treated on the Breathmobile®.

This includes:

• Fewer ER visits and hospitalizations
• Improved pulmonary function
• Decrease in school absenteeism
• Improved quality of life

The Breathmobile® program has proven that consistent specialty care keeps children ”IN” school and “OUT” of the emergency room.
