The Roadmap for Breakthrough Improvement in Community Asthma Care
The Communities in Action Campaign serves to mobilize communities to
lead the nation in quality asthma care. Every community can put in place a
sustainable System for Delivering High Quality Asthma Care. This
session introduces the Communities in Action Campaign and what we know
about the System—how and why it works—and how different communities are using
this System to put key assets into action to improve community-level asthma
outcomes.

describe the assets the Communities in Action Campaign delivers to
help communities improve asthma care and results. Panelists will describe how
their organizations address the report’s recommendations.
