Description
Mission
In response to the growing local concern about asthma, the Sonoma County Asthma Coalition was formed in conjunction with the American Lung Association of California - Redwood Empire Branch in 2002. There are approximately 20 organizations and individuals currently involved and working on four subcommittees including Media and Community Awareness, Policy and Advocacy, Data Collection and Evaluation, and Educations and Best Practices.
The Sonoma County Asthma Coalition's mission is to work with key stakeholders to improve the quality of life of people affected by asthma and to advocate for policies to minimize the impact of asthma in Sonoma County.
Funding and Support
The Sonoma Count Asthma Coalition is a member of the Community Action to Fight Asthma Initiative (CAFA) In February 2001; The California Endowment initiated a series of programs that focus on improving the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. Funding for CAFA supports 12 community-based partnerships across California. The partnerships will work with the public, private and nonprofit sectors to identify and reduce asthma triggers in places where children live, learn and play.
