According to the CDC, more than 1 in 10 children under 18 in the U.S. have ever had asthma, making it the most common chronic condition for children in America. The Chatham County Public Health Department's Asthma Intervention Program is designed to provide children and their families the tools needed to help manage an asthma diagnosis by addressing triggers in the home.

Our knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate Asthma Intervention Program team offers FREE assessment visits during which they provide a number of services, including: 

Asthma assessment: Assessing your child's asthma, reviewing current plans and medications to assist in managing the condition

Discuss conducting a free asthma trigger assessment in the home

Provide resources to assist in addressing housing-related asthma triggers, including a Green Cleaning kit, dust covers for your child's bed linens, humidifier, spacers and more
