  • 1.  May is National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month

    Posted 05-01-2025 01:17 PM

    May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month

    Since 1984, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

    has designated May as a time to shine a spotlight on the

    impact of asthma and allergies. This year's theme, 

    "Make asthma and allergy treatments accessible for all,"

    is a powerful reminder of the challenges many face.
    Despite some progress over the past decade, around 1 in 6 adults with asthma still skip necessary medications due to cost. This is a critical issue, as proper treatment can greatly improve quality of life and prevent serious complications.

    Even though the rate has gone down in the past ten years, about 1 in 6 adults with asthma still skip medicines due to cost.

    Dr. Liza Cahn points out that it's not just humans who are affected-our pets can also suffer from allergies and environmental irritants, which may trigger asthma-like symptoms.

    Asthma and allergies can bring an emotional, social, and financial burden
    to families caring for those affected-human or animal.

    💬 We want to hear from you!
    Do you or someone in your family (including pets) struggle with asthma or allergies? What has your experience been with accessing care and treatment?
