Program Summary:
|
The mission of the WV-AEPP is to develop, implement, and evaluate a statewide strategic asthma plan in the ultimate interest of reducing the health and economic consequences attributed to asthma in West Virginia. The WV-AEPP aspires to highlight asthma as a priority health concern and to reduce suffering, disability, death, and economic costs related to asthma from several fundamental approaches as outlined in The Burden of Asthma in West Virginia and in the Strategic Plan for Addressing Asthma in West Virginia. The AEPP's main goal is to improve the lives of over 150,000 West Virginians who have asthma.
