Welcome to the Arizona Asthma Coalition, a non-profit partnership founded in 1996.

Our Vision: Improve the quality of life and eliminate deaths from asthma in Arizona.

Our Mission : Advocate for better services and improved quality of life for Arizonans living with asthma through education, partnerships and coalition building.

Our Goals:   

  • To improve clinical management and care through the use of data, education and advocacy
  • To improve public policy for asthma prevention and care in Arizona
  • To improve awareness of the Coalition and that asthma is a manageable chronic disease
  • To build coalitions, relationships and partnerships

Patients and Families:  If you or someone in your family has asthma, you can learn about the disease, how to control it and live a normal life.

Healthcare Providers:  If you are a physician, nurse, respiratory therapist, health educator, school nurse or child care worker, you can learn about the National Asthma Guildelines or "best practices" for managing asthma.

Community Support and Resources:  Find information about asthma education classes, support groups, asthma camp, asthma conferences for proivders, special events and links to other web sites about asthma.

The Arizona Asthma Coalition:  Learn more about our organization, who belongs, accomplishments, activities and how to get involved.
