Vision, Mission, and Goals
Floridians with asthma will achieve optimal health and quality of life.
To reduce the overall burden of asthma, with a focus on minimizing the disproportionate impact of asthma in racial/ethnic and low-income populations, by promoting asthma awareness and disease prevention at the community level and expanding and improving the quality of asthma education, management, and services through system and policy changes.
- Increase awareness and early detection of asthma.
- Increase the number of patients with asthma who have a dedicated asthma care-provider (either primary care provider within a medical home or asthma specialist) who provides consistent self-management planning and education.
- Reduce the number of deaths, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, school or work days missed, and limitations on activity due to asthma.
- Reduce asthma disparities among populations disproportionately affected by asthma.
