The Philadelphia Allies Against Asthma Coalition developed a uniform "Asthma Action Plan" that was approved by local Managed Care Organizations and ultimately adopted by the PA DOH for the state of Pennsylvania.

The Asthma 101 presentation was developed by the Philadelphia Allies Against Asthma coaliton to increase asthma awareness among community members with asthma. Presentation covers topics including: what is asthma, what happens during and asthma attack, signs and symptoms, asthma triggers, and asthma medications.

Experts recommend that both schools and families have a current asthma action plan for all school aged children with asthma. This CDPH approved plan includes important consent and authorization language as required by law (developed in statewide partnership with asthma stakeholders). Additional translations are available in CAPHI resources for schools.

We offer 2 main programs: An asthma outreach worker program and home environmental assessment training and visits. Tools available on the website include:
1. Do-It-Yourself Home Environmental Assessment and 2) Searching for a Healthy Home.
