Putting on AIRS (Asthma Indoor Risk Strategies)
The Putting on Airs Program complements the Medical Home Program by providing in-home asthma education and management. An asthma education specialist works with clients and their families to review prescribed medications, provide proper usage instructions, and educate them on recognizing asthma signs and symptoms. Additionally, an environmental specialist conducts home assessments to identify potential asthma triggers, offering low-cost remediation strategies. Referrals to this program can be made through various sources, including emergency departments, healthcare providers, and school health services.
