The Asthma Control Program in St. Mary's County focuses on children 2-18 years with asthma with the goal of decreasing emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and missed school days associated with asthma. The nurse makes a home visit to identify environmental triggers and provide remediation supplies, asthma teaching, and written follow-up to the patient's primary care provider, teacher, and parent.
