Chester Home Asthma Prevention Program

A New Program for Chester City Families!

 

· Children with asthma are often exposed to asthma triggers in and around their home. 

· These triggers may cause frequent asthma flares.

· All homes and neighborhoods have some types of asthma triggers! 

· This program may help prevent asthma flares by:

· Showing families how to reduce or get rid of these common triggers.

· Giving families a special “asthma-friendly home kit”.

· Having outdoor bins for “neighborhood clean-ups”.

Crozer’s Kids Asthma Management Program (KAMP) and the Chester
Environmental Partnership (CEP) are conducting this home-based program for children ages 2 to 17 who have frequent asthma flares.

Prescription monitoring program

Maine’s Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) is a tool created to prevent and detect prescription drug misuse and diversion, as well as enable a better coordination of care. The program maintains a database of all transactions for schedule II, III and IV controlled substances dispensed in the s. The database is available online to prescribers and dispensers for free. Anyone with a DEA number is encouraged to register to request patient reports. These patient reports, and the automatically sent threshold reports, enhance the ability of health care providers to coordinate care. Clinicians can use the program to check the history of a new patient and to monitor ongoing treatment. For more information, go to http://go.usa.gov/DnVe
