😄 Breath-taking fun in August!
In celebration of National Lung Month and World Lung Cancer Day, our Pulmonary and TCVS fellows packed the USTH Ambulatory Care Services for a lively lay forum—myths busted, risks explained, and early warning signs made clear.

Bonus round: we introduced the COPD Clinic—because “matagal na ubo” isn’t a personality trait. ✅ Free COPD screening & spirometry on clinic days.

If you’re 50+, a current/ex-smoker, exposed to dust/chemicals, or have a chronic cough—magpakonsulta na. Breathe easy, Pilipinas.

📍 USTH Ambulatory Care Services
🕐 Every Tuesday, 1–4 PM (COPD Clinic)

Maraming salamat to our attendees, volunteers, and partners for making lung health a community effort! 🙌

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Day officially landed on June 18, yet USTH CRM saved its big exhale for June 25—turning awareness into action. We kicked things off with a spirited Zumba session that showed exercise is more than sweat; it’s medicine. From there, a lay forum translated hard science into everyday strategies our patients and families can own. We wrapped it all up around one table, sharing food, stories, and a renewed promise to guard every breath.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, moved with purpose, asked questions, and renewed the pledge to protect every inhale. Together, we prove that disciplined rehab and genuine camaraderie can change the arc of lung health. 💪🏽
