Misyonumuz
New York Eyaleti Sağlık Bakanlığı'nın Astım Kontrol Programı, Amerikan Akciğer Derneği ile devlet tarafından finanse edilen bir sözleşme aracılığıyla NYS Çocuk Astım Girişimi. Bu beş yıllık girişim, New York Eyaleti'nde yaşayan astımlı çocuklar ve aileleri/bakıcıları arasında astımla ilgili sağlık sonuçlarını ve yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Hakkımızda
Bu NYS Çocuk Astım Girişimi is focused on serving NY’s highest asthma burden regions, as defined by high asthma emergency department (ED) and hospitalization rates among individuals aged 0 to 24 and/or regions having a high percentage of NYS total asthma-related ED visits/hospitalizations. With over 60% of NY’s total asthma-related ED visits and hospitalizations occurring in the Bronx, New York, Kings, and Queens Counties, implementing EXHALE strategies in these counties is a top priority. Additional priority counties are identified using the NYS Asthma Dashboard, an asthma surveillance tracking tool that provides the latest available asthma data at state, county, and/or ZIP code level(s). Visit the NYS Astım Gösterge Tablosu for more information on how this key resource is used for assessing asthma burden and tracking intervention progress in NYS.
The New York State Asthma Control Program
New York is one of 25 state, territorial, and municipal partners funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve the reach, quality, effectiveness, and sustainability of asthma control services with the goal of reducing asthma morbidity, mortality, and disparities. The NYS Children’s Asthma Initiative (NYSCAI) seeks to advance CDC’s National Asthma Control Program’s EXHALE Technical Package. The EXHALE package consists of six evidence-based, cost-effective strategies shown to reduce asthma burden and avoidable asthma related ED visits and hospitalizations.
How We Make A Difference
Bu NYS Asthma Control Program, in collaboration with the American Lung Association’s NYSCAI, convenes a wide range of strategic partners and key stakeholders across multiple sectors including education, housing, environment, transportation, and healthcare to collectively work towards achieving these goals:

- Convene multi-sector partners under the Asthma Partnership of New York (APNY) to expand adoption of EXHALE strategies across New York State and advocate for funding and policies supportive of asthma control
