is for kids to find information just for them concerning lung health.
The Clean Air Kids
Club allows children to learn about air pollution and what they can do
to clean the air. By taking the Clean Air Challenge, kids can earn a Clean
Air patch while helping the “environment.
Of
particular importance is the All About Asthma section. Asthma is the
number one chronic illness for children and the rates are growing.
Many children with asthma can play sports and live the active lives
they want, as long as their asthma is properly managed. Teaching your
child to take their medicine regularly, monitor their own activities
and recognize when an asthma episode may be happening can allow both
you and your child to enjoy a full, active life without worry.
We suggest you read
through this “All About Asthma” section with your child and
discuss it with your doctor. We also have asthma information for adults
on our Main Website.
CHAMP
Camp is a special summer overnight camp for children ages 8-12
with asthma. CHAMP stands for “Children's Health and Asthma Management
Program.” CHAMP Camp is free for Los
Angeles County children diagnosed with mild to severe Asthma.
