AADCH is Coming

On May 7, we are hosting our 28th annual Allergy & Asthma Day Capitol Hill advocacy event in Washington, DC. Our advocates will meet with members of Congress and their staff to urge support for legislation and policies that improve the lives of people with asthma, allergies and related conditions. A key focus this year: pharmacy benefit manager reform.

Statement on CDC

CEO Lynda Mitchell released a statement expressing deep concern with recent workforce reductions at the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including the National Asthma Control Program. “We urge the Administration to consider the impact this program has had on public health and ensure an expeditious, proper, well-equipped transition to mitigate gaps in access to care.”
