Program Description:
Managing Allergies and Preventing Asthma Attacks
Join us for a practical, easy-to-understand conversation with a pulmonologist about how allergies and asthma impact children, adults, and older adults, and what you can do to stay ahead of them.
You’ll learn how to spot common triggers, manage symptoms before they escalate, protect your lungs, and reduce the risk of asthma attacks and severe allergic reactions.
We will explore together seasonal allergies, food allergies, sinus issues, asthma, and when it’s time to see a specialist.
You will receive practical tools so you’re not just reacting to symptoms, but actively protecting your family’s lungs.

Where:
• Philip Heit Center (150 W. Main St, New Albany, OH)
• Conference Room on the 1st Floor
