Free Asthma Education and Asthma Screenings

Program Overview

Pools of Hope offers asthma education and free asthma for children and adults living in the Long Beach community. This work is part of the Respiratory Health Improvement Project (RHIP), funded in part by the Port of Long Beach, and built on one idea: care should come to the neighborhood, not the other way around.

About The Respiratory Health Improvement Project

The Respiratory Health Improvement Project, or RHIP, is a community health initiative funded in part by the Port of Long Beach and operated by Pools of Hope. It was created to help North Long Beach families understand asthma, recognize the things that trigger it, and get screened without cost, distance, or a doctor's referral standing in the way.

Long Beach families live alongside freeways, rail lines, and port traffic. Many know someone who wheezes at night or keeps an inhaler in a kitchen drawer. RHIP exists to turn that quiet, everyday reality into something families can name, understand, and manage.

What RHIP provides:

  • Free asthma screenings delivered by a mobile unit in the community

  • Education on asthma symptoms, triggers, and action plans

  • Warm water aquatic programs that support breathing and overall fitness

  • Referrals and connections to ongoing care

  • Programs for children, adults, and seniors

Free Asthma Screenings

Free asthma screenings for children and adults. Screenings are provided through the St. Mary's Mobile Health Unit and made possible by the Port of Long Beach. Parents must be present for children to receive screenings or care.
