East Harlem walk-in asthma center opens
NEW YORK Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer have announced the opening of a new asthma walk-in center in East Harlem, where the rate of childhood asthma hospitalizations is the highest in the city.
The new East Harlem walk-in asthma center -- an expansion of the East Harlem Asthma Center of Excellence and a part of the City's PlaNYC initiative -- is aimed to reduce childhood asthma hospitalizations by 50% over the next five years.
