If you would like to learn more about asthma or meet other families living with asthma, here are some ideas:

  • You can join a Neighborhood Asthma Committee to learn more about asthma and meet families living with asthma. Call Maythia Airhart 206-205-0523 or e-mail somaythia.airhart@metrokc.gov for more information or to start a neighborhood asthma committee in your community.
  • If your child spends time in a childcare, ask your childcare provider to get training. The Public Health Childcare Health Program provides asthma training in centers in King County. Click here for class dates and times or call (206) 296-2770.

  • Get trained by the American Lung Association of Washington to be a Master Home Environmentalist (MHE). Call (206) 441-5100.

  • If your child is from grade 1 - 12 and taking daily asthma medicine, consider sending them to Asthma Camp - an overnight summer camp. For more information you can e-mail Meredith Gibson, Asthma Camp Coordinator at mgibson@alaw.org
