It is the objective of the program to improve the education and communication to involved parties about asthma. The causes, triggers, and the dangers of the condition. Due to the lack of communication, parents fail to inform school level personnel about the condition of the child until the trigger is activated.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of asthma education, prevention, management and services in Trempealeau County.

The goal of Healthy Homes is to assist Cowlitz County residents in learning about common health risks in the home associated with asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems. Trained volunteers work with the resident, to perform an in-home assessment that locates common triggers known to aggravate breathing conditions. Some examples include mold and mildew, dust mites, pet dander, and secondhand smoke. Then, the volunteer and resident develop a simple action plan that includes low or no-cost ways in which to make the suggested improvements.
