Our Goals

To fulfill our mission of improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals affected by asthma, the NAC is focusing on four key areas:

Advocacy, Policy, and Outreach

• Support and provide awareness about current issues surrounding access to asthma care, especially in areas with limited resources.
• Participate in community strategies to improve access to care.
• Raise awareness of asthma in Nebraska.

Clinical Care and Education

• Increase use of asthma guidelines for diagnosis and management of asthma within the state health care system.
• Promote asthma self-management education for patients and caregivers.

Data, Epidemiology, and Environment

• Gather and interpret baseline asthma data, determine outcome measures, and assess the effectiveness of interventions over time.
• Expand environmental control measures to reduce exposure to asthma triggers at home, school, work, and in the community at large.
