 The Oregon Asthma Program
Right now more than 282,000 people living in Oregon have asthma. Asthma can be controlled and managed, but it cannot be cured. To address asthma in Oregon, various people and organizations within the state are taking steps to improve asthma control. The Oregon Asthma Program (OAP) is a statewide program that originated in the fall of 1999 with the goal of creating a statewide network to address this important disease. The OAP is working to make sure that all Oregonians with asthma get quality medical care, and have the right information and skills to manage their disease. To do this, the OAP works with many different partners in the community who care about asthma in Oregon.
The OAP will be releasing future issues of this newsletter, and will focus on various topics relating to this complex disease. If you do not wish to receive future mailings, please contact the OAP. If you have questions about asthma, or want to learn how to better manage your disease, your doctor is an excellent resource for asthma information. Please speak with your doctor, or call the Oregon Asthma Program at (503) 731-4025.
