Fight Asthma Now

Fight Asthma Now (FAN) is a free asthma management program offered for children and teens. Through FAN programs, our asthma educators give children the tools and knowledge they need to identify and avoid triggers, manage asthma episodes and control asthma on a long-term basis. FAN programs are offered for youth and for teens. 

FAN for Youth is intended for children in third through sixth grades. The program is broken into three or four 45-minute sessions, and the structure of the program allows us to teach at the children's learning pace. This program requires a minimum of eight participants.

FAN for Teens is intended for teens in seventh through 12th grades. The program is catered to a teen audience and helps teens to understand how to make health a priority despite social pressures, such as the pressure to smoke. The program is typically taught in three 45-minute sessions. For teens in 11th and 12th grades, we offer a fourth session that prepares them to care for their asthma as they transition to living away from home. This program requires a minimum of eight participants.
