The Michigan Dept. of Community Health and partners created the GIST program to help primary care providers implement the GIP messages in their everyday practice. You can find the materials and resources to help implement them here in the resource bank (http://www.asthmacommunitynetwork.org/node/6551) or at GetAsthmaHelp.org/GIST. These materials are not copywritten and available free of charge. Any questions about GIST can be directed to Tisa Vorce at vorcet@michigan.gov
