Coalition

The Asthma Coalition of Mississippi (ACM) strives to eliminate asthma among Mississippians by promoting education, prevention, and management of asthma throughout the state. The coalition is divided into nine regional districts (corresponding to the state's nine Public Health Districts) each containing six work groups (advocacy/policy, community, data/surveillance, environment, health care, and school health).

FVAC members promote and provide asthma education in area schools, sporting organizations, and in local Fox Valley communities. Our target audiences are school staff, youth sports coaches and day care staff. Several coalition members are trained to present Asthma 101 ALA program and Live Well, Breathe Well program. Our current projects include training for local pharmacists and clinicians in the use of Asthma Care Fax, partnering with GSK to sponsor Rx for Change, tobacco cessation training and community outreach at YMCA Healthy Kids Day.
