School

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of asthma education, prevention, management and services in Trempealeau County.

The goal of Healthy Homes is to assist Cowlitz County residents in learning about common health risks in the home associated with asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems. Trained volunteers work with the resident, to perform an in-home assessment that locates common triggers known to aggravate breathing conditions. Some examples include mold and mildew, dust mites, pet dander, and secondhand smoke. Then, the volunteer and resident develop a simple action plan that includes low or no-cost ways in which to make the suggested improvements.

Determine what may cause asthma in school settings

Our program basically consists of the nursing staff coordinating with parents and physicians to provide the healthiest environment for the children while in school and home. Education and observation being two key components to preventing or diminishing the severity of crises.

I am planning to do Asthma Education with my students and their parents

The American Lung Association in California's San Bernardino office provides various asthma programs. The OAS PLUS program is our school-based asthma education program, which includes Open Airways for Schools, Kickin' Asthma, Asthma 101 and Exercise & Asthma. These classes provide the education and information necessary for students and their caretakers to better manage their asthma. We also offer a home-based asthma education program; a community health worker provides in-home asthma education and asthma friendly supplies. All of our programs aim to reach the many families affected by asthma.

The mission of the American Lung Association is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.

The current project is located in San Antonio, Texas and involves teaching children to share their feelings about having asthma through art.

Clover Park School District Health Services provides a range of services to students with asthma to promote their success in school.

Coordinated School Health (CSH) is an effective system designed to connect physical, emotional and social health with education to improve the lives of students and their families.
