Asthma Care for Life

Nearly 4 million children and adults in California suffer from asthma (PDF). When asthma is not adequately treated and kept under control, it can lead to many problems, such as:

  • Frequent visits to the emergency department or hospitalization.
  • Inability to participate in physical activities, including exercise and sports.
  • Missed school and/or work days.
  • Lung damage.

But asthma doesn’t have to get in the way of the activities you love. Asthma experts work with you to create effective treatment plans, pinpoint triggers and develop strategies to avoid them and reduce flare-ups.

We also provide special asthma programs including:

  • Asthma Resource Center — A proactive Bay Area program designed to improve treatment and reduce the need for patients with asthma to visit the Emergency Department. By collaborating with local health clinics, we identify patients that need help and match them with the right resources.
  • Research and Clinical Trials — Novel treatments can improve asthma symptoms today and prevent them in the future.

Asthma Research

Sutter Health Asthma Research
Asthma is the most common chronic disease of children in the U.S. It inflames and narrows breathing airways and, if untreated, can kill. Asthma tends to run in families, but environmental factors like pollen and pollution also trigger it. Research looks for ways to improve treatment today and prevent asthma in the future.
