Asthma Education For Adults

The American Lung Association headquarters recently awarded the Colorado office a capacity building grant to pilot Breathe Well, Live Well - An Asthma Education Program for Adults during fiscal year 2009.

In Colorado, 281,591 adults and 108,511 children have asthma. Asthma ranks within the top ten prevalent conditions causing limitation of activity and costs the nation $19.7 billion in healthcare costs annually.

The goal of this capacity building grant is to develop the infrastructure and effective systems for full implementation of Breathe Well Live Well (BWLW) here in Colorado, helping improve asthma management skills for adults with asthma.
