For The Asthma Center’s 25th Anniversary this year, one of our “lifer’s” Gloria Cooper wrote, “Ode to the Asthma Center” to describe her time here since the beginning. We loved it so much, we thought we’d share a piece of it with you all:

“Between skin tests and shots, H&P and the meths,
When I think what we do I run out of breath.

We also do rhinos and six minute walks, 
The patients keep moving, they can’t even talk.

We empty the trash cans and fill up the vials,
We fill out the charts and make many piles.

The staff of the practice is very much caring
As some of the challenges are very daring.

As senior nurse, I am happy to say, 
Our training is thorough
We keep asthma at bay.”

Here’s Gloria in our Center City office shortly after it opened!
