Coalition

The Florida Asthma Coalition is a group of volunteers with the shared vision that Floridians with asthma will achieve optimal health and quality of life.

Asthma control efforts will be accomplished through implementation of process objectives and action steps organized into four strategic focus areas:

Based on models from around the country, Buffalo’s Green and Healthy Homes Initiative aligns and coordinates public and private funding sources and programs for weatherization, lead hazard control, asthma control, and other home health and safety interventions in low income homes. Homes with vulnerable populations such as children and seniors will be given priority. Under the green and healthy model, comprehensive whole-house solutions replace a piecemeal approach that has been based more on government silos than on the needs of children and families.

Regional Asthma Management and Prevention's mission is to reduce the burden of asthma with a focus on health equity.
