Our program is a children's hospital-based program that provides comprehensive asthma education and care across many healthcare-based settings and throughout the Kansas City community.
Our Asthma Program includes inpatient and outpatient asthma management utilizing the 2020 NAEPP and 2024 GINA Guidelines.
Asthma education occurs across all settings by either an Asthma Program Coordinator, trained respiratory therapist or nurse utilizing evidence-based teaching methods and Children’s Mercy-created educational materials. The program also includes The Center for Environmental Health, social services, targeted asthma interventions and community outreach and collaborations.
