Pediatric Asthma Prevention Program
In order
to prevent the development of asthma in small children, the Hispanic
Family Center works with parents and pregnant women to teach the steps
that they can take in their homes and daily lives to prevent children
from developing the disease and to lessen the severity of asthma attacks.
In addition
to group sessions, the Hispanic Family Center offers prevention case
management. Case managers visit the homes of program participants to
develop and implement individualized prevention plans.
