Asthma is the most common chronic disorder in American schoolchildren, and school nurses play a critical role in helping students and families manage it. This webinar will help school nurses create and evaluate asthma action plans for their students. Dr. Ben Francisco returns with advice to help schools be Asthma Ready(TM). Dr. Cindy Devore, Dr. Lani Wheeler and Sally Schoessler, Director of Nursing Education at National Association of School Nurses share their experience and expertise.

This webinar follows up on the valuable information presented in ASHA’s May webinar “Asthma Control: Are You Doing YOUR Part? An Update for School Nurses in School-based Asthma Management.” If you did not participate in the May webinar, we encourage you to view it prior to attending the upcoming December webinar.
