The Preventive Care Program for Urban Children with Asthma partners with Rochester (NY) city schools, primary care practices, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the University of Rochester, and the Rochester community, to conduct research focusing on the testing of interventions to improve health care for urban children who suffer from childhood asthma. Our goal is to develop sustainable models for identifying and treating children with this disease.
