The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) established the Alabama Asthma Program in 2009 as part of the Healthy Communities Branch of the Bureau of Health Promotion and Chronic Diseases. Alabama was awarded a five-year grant, which created a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and facilitated the creation of the ALAP.
The Georgia asthma Program strives to reach Georgians that live with asthma to educate them and assist them in managing their condition. Our goal is to reduce ER visits and reduce asthma related hospitalizations.
We promote healthy homes, childcare and school settings so that children can develop to their full potential. We help families by linking them to needed services or code enforcement. We provide information, education and trainings to community agencies, medical providers and interested groups in support of these goals.
