Remote Clinic Rx is A virtual Healthcare Clinic that provides Telehealth services support and education to improve the way patients manage their Asthma via Virtual visits with license doctors 24 Hours a day 7 days a week throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

The Wealth from Health® program, utilizes nurses and non-clinical navigators to support, advocate for, and motivate chronically ill patients using an innovative points-driven financial rewards system. This enabled through partnerships with local businesses and organizations. The voluntary program enrolls adults and children who have been diagnosed with one or more chronic disease who require outpatient care. The program targets the following groups of vulnerable patients: individuals with uncontrolled or poorly managed conditions; high-risk or complex patients; patients with multiple chronic conditions; patients who are non-compliant with medications or medical appointments; patients encountering challenging social and stated barriers to care; patients experiencing frequent inpatient hospitalization or ER visits; and individuals in need of care coordination.

The Respira Sano Program is a PCORI (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute) funded asthma comparative effectiveness research project that aims to improve asthma control among Latino children ages six to seventeen in Imperial County, California. Working in partnership with academic/research institute (San Diego State University and the Institute for Behavioral and Community Health) with over 30 years of experience conducting rigorous public health research, a community clinic (Clínicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc.) with excellent reach and credibility in the partner community, a community-based organization (Comité Cívico del Valle) with extensive experience in promoting asthma control, and a division of the state health department (California Breathing) responsible for asthma control efforts statewide.

IAQ assessments linked to physician requests to identify triggers and identify needs of clients.

The establishment of the Adirondack Asthma Coalition (Glens Falls, NY 12804) grew out of the recognition of "holes" in the recognition, education, management and follow-up of patients coming through the ER and/or inpatient experience. As a result, a concerted effort has evolved to bring together those who care and worry about children and adults with asthma. Having had in-depth experience with the NC Asthma Program, it has been exciting to see the grass-roots interest in "making a difference for our community!"
