Does your preschool child have asthma? If so, then it is important that your child is in a child care program that is asthma friendly. Tell your child's teacher about the PACNJ Asthma Friendly Child Care Program Award and to go to www.pacnj.org to learn more!

The NJ Asthma Symposium took place on Thursday, August 9th, 2012 and was a great success with over one hundred attendees! The program was designed to provide NJ health care providers with the information to diagnose and treat asthma in accordance with the latest Guidelines from the 2007 National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP), coordinated by the National heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), as the latest set of clinical practice recommendations for asthma, including environmental controls.

Learn and Teach about Asthma, a continuing education program, was held at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Roxbury, MA on May 19, 2012 in recognition of Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. With over 40 participants in attendance, this year's course was a huge success by all accounts.
