Knox County Community Health Coalition

Our ongoing work will include training more of our school staff to detect the signs/symptoms of asthma; increasing the percentage of individual Health Care Plans (HCPs) for students diagnosed with asthma; decreasing the number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations due to asthma by partnering with diabetes educators and PCPs; partnering with area employers to do asthma education via worksite wellness programs, and increasing the number of people who actively self-manage their asthma.
