‍Asthma Initiative

WCHQ is working to improve asthma outcomes in six Wisconsin counties: Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Rock, Brown, and Menominee. This initiative leverages data-driven strategies to address disparities, enhance care coordination, and implement effective asthma management practices.

Why Participate?

• Milwaukee County: Address the highest asthma prevalence rates in the state.
• Racine County: Improve care coordination where only 40% of patients have asthma action plans.
• Brown County: Reduce indoor air quality-related asthma cases with environmental assessments.
• Rock County: Build on the success of in-home education programs that boost medication compliance.
• Kenosha County: Expand in-home visits to reduce emergency room visits.
• Menominee County: Engage underserved populations in personalized asthma care strategies.
  

Be part of this impactful work to improve asthma care and health equity across Wisconsin. For more information or to join, contact Jen Koberstein at Jkoberstein@wchq.org
