Asthma
Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways that makes breathing difficult. This site has information on how to manage it and live well with asthma, as well as resources and tools for professionals who help people with asthma.
May is Asthma Awareness Month!
When you control your asthma, you can breathe easier, be active, and sleep well. The first step in raising awareness is learning about asthma and educating friends, family, and others with ways to control asthma.
Help us raise awareness this month by learning and sharing ways to manage asthma and asthma triggers.
Environmental factors can trigger or exacerbate asthma symptoms. Work with a health professional to develop a written asthma action plan to control symptoms and asthma triggers in your environment.
Learn more by exploring the information and resources that are available on the asthma webpages.
