Public Health Programs and Partnerships
The NYC DOHMH's Childhood Asthma Initiative is a public health effort to reduce illness and death from asthma by:
- • working to strengthen the ability of families,
schools, communities, health care institutions and city government to control
and prevent asthma;
- • building on existing research, educational and
clinical efforts, resulting in a coordinated and comprehensive effort to
understand, treat and prevent asthma in New York City;
- • developing linkages among health facilities,
schools, communities and government agencies; and
- • reduce hospitalizations due to asthma throughout the city, with special attention to high risk populations.
