AAFA Launches New Health Equity Initiative for Communities Facing Highest Burden of Asthma
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's (AAFA) Health Equity Advancement and Leadership (HEAL) program addresses health disparities in communities that bear the heaviest burden of asthma. Promoting health equity is a core value and mission-critical priority of AAFA.
The Michigan Chapter has been selected as one of the four sites across the country. “We are excited for the opportunity to provide a more holistic approach to aid our community in getting comprehensive asthma care and supportive tools to improve overall health,” says Kathleen Slonager, executive director of AAFA-MI. “With AAFA-MI’s deep roots in the community in addition to investment from HEAL Innovation, we are confident that this intervention will help to improve health outcomes for people with asthma in the Detroit area.”
