Hi, my name is Kori Ascher. I am a pulmonary and critical care physician coming from Miami, Florida.

I’m originally from upstate New York, and I moved down to south Florida for medical school residency fellowship, and I’ve grown roots in here. I’ve been here ever since. I have started an organization called Just Breathe, and I want you to bring awareness to all chronic lung diseases, because I’m pulmonary, so a lot of my patients have these.
