Asthma & Allergies
Asthma is a serious, sometimes life-threatening chronic respiratory disease that affects the quality of life for almost 25 million Americans, including an estimated 7 million children. Although there is no cure for asthma, asthma can be controlled through medical treatment and management of environmental triggers.
