With more than 6 million children living with asthma, according to the C.D.C., there’s a nationwide push to prevent emergency visits due to asthma.In Southern Arizona, a group of healthcare workers are doing the work they hope will make a difference. Four students and one director make up the “Asthma Action Team,” operated from Pima Community College West.“I started to notice a trend,” said Alma Arellano, Clinical Director at Pima Community College West.

While their respiratory program’s classrooms are currently under construction, the group has kept busy preparing for the first official partnership with the Lomeli Daycare in Douglas, Arizona.“A lot of my girls didn’t know how to administer or how to clean the equipment,” said Angelita Lomeli, owner of the daycare.That changed after learning from the team’s “Asthma Action Video,” and now her daycare center will have the tools to treat asthma properly.
