  • provide information to physicians about environmental factors that may influence treatment plan 

Self-management Education
Families receive one-on-one sessions with a nurse or health educator who provides tailored support with an evidence-based educational program.

GOALS:
  • improve knowledge and trigger avoidance skills of child and family members
  • assure good inhalation technique

"The home visits made a difference for our family.
Simple changes turned out to be very helpful."
