From: | Senator Richard L. Alloway, II |
To: | All Senate members |
Subject: | World Asthma Day Resolution |
In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating May 7, 2013, as “World Asthma Day” in Pennsylvania. The aim is to spread the word that asthma control is the goal of treatment and can be achieved in the vast majority of asthma patients with proper management. World Asthma Day is organized by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) in collaboration with the PA Asthma Partnership, which is managed by the American Lung Association and asthma educators, to raise awareness about asthma and improve asthma care throughout the world. The first World Asthma Day was celebrated in 1998 in more than 35 countries and this year’s theme will again be "You Can Control Your Asthma." |
