Wisconsin Coverdell Stroke Program
About |
Wisconsin’s Asthma Program at the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has received CDC funding since 2001. Shortly after, the Wisconsin Asthma Coalition Executive Committee was formed when the Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin pulled together a group of individuals and organizations to plan and implement Wisconsin’s first asthma summit. Today, the Wisconsin’s Asthma Program and the Wisconsin Asthma Coalition work together to focus on communities with the greatest needs, delivering evidence-based strategies to address asthma control. These strategies include patient education, consistent and correct use of preventive medication, control of environmental factors that affect asthma and coordinating public health and health care in order to provide seamless asthma control services.
