The Patient Voice In Asthma Care

Congratulations to our own De De Gardner, Chief Research Officer – she has been named to the National Asthma Education Prevention Program (NAEPP) Coordinating Committee!

We also had a record day in virtual advocacy: 1,500 advocates sent 3,500 emails to Congress as part of AADCH.
