Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP) and National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) are pleased to invite you to an Asthma Awareness Month webinar on Sustainable Financing for Home-Based Asthma Services: Snapshots of Innovation and Progress Across the Country. 

Registration is now open. 

Asthma home visiting is an evidence-based intervention proven to reduce healthcare costs and improve asthma outcomes. Despite robust evidence of their impact, however, programs historically have had to rely on unstable grant funding to provide services. But in recent years, that pattern has begun to shift, and we have seen progress in communities and states across the country in building systems for sustainable asthma home visiting services. 

There are many pathways for achieving sustainable home-based asthma services. As such, progress can look different from one place to the next. This webinar will feature success stories from across the country, highlighting both state Medicaid policy advances, and stories about local partnerships, and other innovations that create a groundswell for statewide change; all serving as models for new community action.   

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

• Understand what progress and pathways for building systems to expand and sustain access to home-based asthma services might look like
• Identify one or more pathways that may lead toward sustainable home-based asthma services in their community or state
• Know how to access free technical assistance and tools to support efforts in their community or state.
