Our Mission

Convened in 2003, the Greater Kansas City Asthma Coalition brings together individuals and agencies to establish an on-going asthma network to communicate about, collaborate on, and coordinate projects that improve and support asthma and COPD prevention, diagnosis, and management in the Greater Kansas City Area on both sides of the state line between Missouri and Kansas.


Objectives

  • Establish an on-going communication network within the Greater Kansas City Area
  • Identify individuals and agencies who may want to participate in the Coalition from both sides of the state line (Missouri and Kansas)
  • Identify opportunities for coordination and collaboration across projects and agencies
  • Increase awareness of asthma and COPD, including prevention, diagnosis and management
  • Develop activities to improve control of asthma and COPD in our community


Membership
