Asthma care in schools
As a school health professional, you know the children in your school who are challenged by asthma and are often on the front line of helping them manage their condition. When pediatric asthma is in-check, kids can spend more time in class actively learning and participating. When it’s not, asthma can be a significant disruption to their education. In fact, asthma is the leading cause of missed school days among children ages 5-17.

Children's Physician Access is available 24/7 with a representative on the line throughout the call to assist with referrals, consultations and admissions and to provide general information.
