Provides comprehensive asthma disease management to include physical and environmental assessments, asthma education and screening, pulmonary function testing, asthma action plans, and follow-up after ER, hospital or clinic visit.
Providers can refer asthma patients to a monthly clinic where they discuss individual situations, offer preventative care and treatment options, and educate patients on the proper use of medicines, nebulizers, and inhalers. Patient progress and medications are tracked in an asthma registry.
Our mission is to increase the scientific understanding of asthma/allergic diseases across all ages, to translate these findings into innovative approaches and to implement these approaches in the asthma community through an integrated Institute of scientists, clinicians, educators, patients and the community, thereby improving the health of asthma patients.
