American College of Chest Physicians 13th Annual Community Asthma and COPD Coalitions Symposium

Great information being shared among the asthma and COPD coalitions on the best practices for addressing health disparities in communities across the country.  Champions like Amanda Reddy, New York State Department, Healthy Neighborhhods Program; Mamta Reddy, South Bronx Asthma Partnership Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center; and Tyra Bryant-Stephens, Community Asthma Prevention Program shared their successful strategies for improving health outcomes, saving health care dollars, and improving the quality of life for people with asthma. (Check out each of their program profiles on Asthma Community Network.) Looking forward to even more information sharing at the break out sessions and poster presentations this afternoon and evening!
