Fayette Asthma Coalition Team


Welcome

The mission of the Fayette Asthma Coalition Team (FACT) is to work to improve the quality of life for people affected by asthma and to advocate for the establishment of a comprehensive plan to minimize the impact of asthma in Fayette County.

 

Key Priorities

  • Promote community education and awareness around the issue of asthma.
  • Work to reduce the indoor/outdoor environmental factors that are asthma triggers.
  • Encourage best practices and access to good healthcare for people with asthma.
  • Implement data collection and analysis about asthma prevalence.


We encourage you to join us!

 

 

Ask Your Dr. About a Written Asthma Action Plan?

IL Dept. of Public Health Asthma Action Plan


Take the Asthma Action Plan to your Physician and have him fill it out according to your childs needs. Then make a copy for your physician, you, and daycare/school, etc. A person can refer to the written asthma action plan when peak flow measurements fall below the number listed in the Green/Yellow/Red zone and/or symptoms become apparant. Written instructions from your physician can be helpful to others and yourself when taking care of your child.
