National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management

In 2020, EPA’s Asthma team recognized great changes in the landscape in which we work, particularly in national trends showing that asthma care increasingly includes environmental management as a standard. As whole-community systems coordinate public health, housing, environment, clinical care, healthcare, and community partners to deliver comprehensive care at scale, we believe our awards program has successfully shifted to recognize what best performance looks like today.
The current application keeps the three priority areas: 1) Comprehensive Asthma Management – 1.a Management and Operations, 1.b Integrated Health Care Services, 1c. Tailored Environmental Services, 2) Getting Results: Evaluation, and 3) Sustainability.
Refining the application. In an attempt at continuous quality improvement, annually we review the comments and suggestions received by the review panels to edit text, streamline instructions, and make applying feel easier.
The National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management is the highest recognition a program and its leaders can receive for delivering excellent environmental asthma management as part of their comprehensive asthma care services. Each year, EPA honors exceptional health plans, health care providers and communities in action with this prestigious award.
