May is Astha Awarness Month!

American Lung Association

Raising Awareness About Asthma

Today, more than 25 million people in America have asthma—including more than 7 million kids. Asthma is the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under the age of 15 and is a leading cause of school absences.

That's why this May—Asthma Awareness Month—the American Lung Association has set out to bring greater awareness of this disease. We're helping to make sure people with asthma have access to the information and resources they need to manage their asthma to live active, healthy lives.
