It's time to overcome the heavy burden of childhood asthma. Although we don't have all the pieces of the childhood asthma puzzle, we know enough to better manage this chronic condition and help millions of families across America.

Most people don't realize that 1 in every 11 children has asthma and that asthma is the most common chronic condition among children. Asthma also accounts for children missing 13 million school days a year.
