Regional Summit on Pediatric Home Asthma Interventions
Wednesday, June 5, 2013
Kansas City, MO
This event was the second in a series of local meetings supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The meetings are designed to promote the value of home-based interventions in the homes of children with poorly controlled asthma and accelerate the creation of reimbursement mechanisms by local/regional health insurance providers. The initial meeting was held in Cleveland on September 21, 2012, and was hosted by the Healthy Homes Advisory Council of Greater Cleveland and the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
