North Carolina Asthma Program
The North Carolina Asthma Program seeks to help North Carolinians with asthma and to reduce the burden of asthma through leadership, education, policy initiatives, coalition building, partnerships, and communication. The North Carolina Asthma Program strives to reduce the burden of asthma upon the citizens of our state by:
- Developing and maintaining a comprehensive statewide asthma surveillance system.
- Developing and implementing a State Asthma Plan that effectively addresses asthma in all ages, ethnic groups, backgrounds, and in multiple settings.
- Increasing public awareness of the importance of reducing the burden of asthma and the need for supportive policies and environments.
- Providing technical assistance and resources to help support local asthma coalitions.
- Providing leadership and administration for the statewide asthma
coalition, the Asthma Alliance of North Carolina (AANC).
