🏃‍♂️September Spike in Asthma-Related

ER Visits: What You Need to Know 🫁

As September arrives, many hospitals see a surge in asthma-related ER visits. This "September Spike" is often triggered by a combination of factors, including the back-to-school routine, increased exposure to allergens, and cooler weather. NB Lung is here to help manage these challenges with resources on proper inhaler and spacer use, an asthma action plan, and a patient support line where you can speak with our Respiratory Therapist.

We have recently received a small batch of asthma inhaler spacers that we are offering to people in need. If you are in need of a replacement inhaler spacer, please contact info@nblung.ca with the subject line “Spacer”.

Visit our website for more details on how to keep your asthma under control this season.
