Asthma Coaches

Our asthma coaches are certified asthma educators with additional licenses as respiratory therapist, physician assistants and nurses.

People with asthma and COPD often feel overwhelmed in dealing with their condition. Coaching and care coordination help improve a person’s well-being.

Studies show that adding tools such as virtual patient coaching can help support better health outcomes and improve the patient’s experience with the healthcare system. It also is an effective way for people to overcome time constraints, and costs.
