Get ready for Asthma and Allergy Awareness month

可能是哮喘和过敏宣传月,和它的s right around the corner. It’s a great opportunity to share your expertise with your community. The College’s updatedAllergy and Asthma Awareness Toolkitmakes it easy. Use the Toolkit’s resources for:

Reaching out in your community

  • YMCAs, hospitals or other groups in your area might be having upcoming health fairs. They are an ideal opportunity to offer free asthma screenings. OurAsthma Screening Event Planning Guideoffers ideas and resources to plan and host an asthma screening.
  • Libraries and hospitals often have speakers present talks to the public. Check locally for an opportunity to share your expertise on allergies and asthma. Use our patient-friendly PowerPoint presentation for a virtual or in-person talk.

Your Practice

  • Let primary care physicians know that allergists can help their patients with unresolved allergy symptoms. Use the email templates in ourTime for an Allergist Toolkitto connect with them.
  • Send a note to primary care NPs and PAs in your community in observance of Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, sharinginformationtailored to them.
  • Your waiting room is a great place to capture your patients’ attention. The College has dozens of patient videos onour YouTube channel. College videos share patients’ real-life experiences with eczema, asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis. We released new videos recently where ACAAI members answer commonly asked allergy questions.
  • From your practice website, link to our informative web content aboutasthma, all types ofallergies, treatments and management.
  • New this year – online versions of our popularpatient brochures. Share with your patients in person or via their portal, or post on your website.
