The Community Asthma Program (CAP) is a broad community asthma awareness program of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Department for adults 18-54 years of age. CAP conducts asthma education programs and trainings on an individual and community level, provides collegial support and medical updates on asthma for physician and nurses at Brigham-affiliated Neighborhood Health Centers, and develops educational materials. In collaboration with Partners Asthma Center, CAP established a specialized asthma clinic at Brookside and Uphams Corner health center; provide spirometry testing, asthma education, and environmental home assessment when indicated to health center patients. CAP also works in collaboration with regional Asthma coalitions and initiatives.
