FOR PHYSICIANS: Is your patient struggling with asthma?

Asthma can be a difficult diagnosis to manage, and can be responsible for an increase in emergency room visits. As you know, asthma can be worsened by triggers within the patient’s home, such as dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, pests, air fresheners, and secondhand tobacco smoke.

You can arrange a FREE indoor air quality assessment of your patient’s home to identify possible asthma triggers. Call 937-390-5600 ext 245 or email environmental@ccchd.com.

FOR PATIENTS AND PARENTS: Are you struggling with asthma or do you have a child struggling with asthma?

Asthma is a serious health issue responsible for missed school days, increased emergency room visits, and other health problems. Asthma can be made worse by triggers within the home, such as dust mites, pet dander, pests, and secondhand tobacco smoke.

If you are struggling with asthma or if you are a parent with a child who is struggling with asthma, you can arrange a FREE indoor air quality assessment of your home to identify possible asthma triggers. Call 937-390-5600 ext 245 or email environmental@ccchd.com.
