Asthma Home Visits for Older Adults

PVAC is partnering with Commonwealth Care Alliance Senior Care Options to provide asthma home visits for elders with asthma.  This program is for adults 65 or older, with a hospitalization or ER visit for asthma in the last year.  They must also be enrolled in Commonwealth Care Alliance Senior Care Options.

This program is modeled on other successful asthma home visiting programs that have improved asthma outcomes for children and adults, including the READY initiative led by Dr. Matthew Sadof at Baystate High Street Pediatrics.  For more information, please contact pioneervalleyasthmacoalition@gmail.com.
