The North Carolina Asthma Program strives to reduce the burden of asthma in North Carolina through surveillance, the development and implementation of an effective, inclusive State Asthma plan, public education and awareness-raising, and leadership.

The North Carolina Asthma Program completed the Burden of Asthma Report in 2006 and the North Carolina State Asthma Plan in 2007. The North Carolina Asthma Program strives to reduce the burden of asthma upon the citizens of our state by:
-Developing and maintaining a comprehensive statewide asthma surveillance system.
-Developing and implementing a State Asthma Plan that effectively addresses asthma in all ages, ethnic groups, backgrounds, and in multiple settings.
-Increasing public awareness of the importance of reducing the burden of asthma and the need for supportive policies and environments.
-Providing technical assistance and resources to help support local asthma coalitions.
-Providing leadership and administration for the statewide asthma coalition, the Asthma Alliance of North Carolina (AANC).
