National Jewish Health and The University of Arizona worked with Navajo Nation organizations
to develop this program to improve the health of children with asthma. The Navajo Community
Asthma Program will have two main parts. One will train doctors and health care professionals
to improve the diagnosis and treatment of asthma. The second part will work with area schools
to provide education to school nurses, teachers, and children to help them better understand
asthma. The project also works with families to help them know how to best take care of their
child's asthma. A major project aim is to make sure that doctors, teachers, and families work
together to manage asthma.
