The primary goal of the Asthma Management Service at the Lifestyle Management Institute is to improve your quality of life and help you lead a more active lifestyle.

 

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that can affect your health and prevent you from living an active lifestyle.  Through education and counseling, the Asthma Management Service can help you learn how to control your asthma and live a healthier lifestyle.  We can help you control your asthma by:

 

• Identifying your asthma triggers
• Reviewing your medication, including technique, use, and adverse effects
• Monitoring as well as managing symptoms of asthma
• Reinforcing the importance of peak flow monitoring
• Developing a comprehensive Personal Asthma Management Plan

 

The team will instruct you in the many aspects of asthma management and in the skills necessary to control your asthma.  They will help you identify the many causes, risks and warning signs of an asthma episode.  With that knowledge, they will then help you plan to minimize your triggers.

 

Our interdisciplinary team of professionals includes physicians, registered nurses, pharmacists, dieticians, and behavioral health specialists.  Together with your healthcare provider, a program is developed tailored to your needs and abilities.

Anyone diagnosed with asthma qualifies for this service. To enter the program, a referral is needed from your healthcare provider.
