The NCK Med Respiratory Therapy Department worked alongside Concordia Middle School staff yesterday to provide asthma testing to 5th and 6th grade students. This process helps to identify potential asthma symptoms by testing peak flow air before and after physical activity.
Students who participated in the testing will be notified if it is recommended that they follow up with their providers.

Did you know, testicular cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in males between the ages of 15 and 44? But it's also one of the most treatable when detected early.

A monthly self-check only takes a minute and can help detect testicular cancer early—when it’s most treatable.

Best time: after a warm shower
What to look for: lumps, swelling, or changes

For more information on how to do a self-check, visit:

When in doubt, get it checked out. And join us by wearing purple tomorrow to raise awareness!
