In United States, over 7 million children have asthma and it accounts for over 10 million lost school days. To support schools taking positive steps to improve asthma management, the American Lung Association has launched the 2014 Asthma-Friendly Schools Initiative (AFSI) Champion Awards. The Awards program recognizes schools that have established a comprehensive asthma management plan that meets the strategies outlined in the Asthma-Friendly Schools Initiative, including maximizing health services, providing asthma education, creating a healthy learning environment, and ensuring the participation of physical education and activities for students with asthma when they are able.
The 2014 AFSI Champion Awards offers two award levels based on the scope of a school’s asthma management plan. To learn more about the 2014 AFSI Champion Awards criteria and application process, visit www.lung.org/afsichampion. The application deadline is Monday, June 16, 2014.
