A unique educational support service provided by Southeast is the Generations Family Resource Center, which is located on the first floor of the hospital near the lobby. The center has been designed to coordinate Southeast's many family care components and to centralize in one location the vast amount of age-specific medical information the hospital has available. The center helps improve the public's access to Southeast's various services and to community resources with which the hospital networks. The phone number is 651-5825. The sessions deal with medications, peak flow monitoring, managing asthma episodes, asthma attack triggers and exercise-induced asthma.
Class size is limited and advanced registration is required.
