CPMC Asthma Education and Support

Whether you’re an adult or a child, having asthma can be scary. You can’t always prevent an attack, and you never know how long an attack will last. California Pacific Medical Center can help you manage your asthma through personal consultations with asthma experts, educational resources and more.

    Asthma Support Services

    Millions of adults and children in the United States have asthma, a common chronic disease that can be treated and managed with the right tools. As part of Sutter’s comprehensive asthma care, we offer a variety of resources to help you successfully manage your asthma so that you can be symptom-free as often as possible.

    Personal Consultations

    To take control of your asthma, you may benefit from a one-on-one consultation with one of our asthma experts. Meeting individually with an asthma expert can help you pinpoint what you need to do to participate in activities, prevent asthma attacks in the future, get a good night’s sleep and maintain healthy lungs throughout your life.

    Your primary care doctor and/or pulmonologist is also a great resource for asthma support. You should schedule at least two “asthma only” appointments annually with your doctor to review and update your Asthma Action Plan.

    Classes and Training

    Asthma classes and asthma management programs, like the innovative HealthFirst program at the Mission Bernal Campus, are available for both adults and children. The goals of these programs are to teach you what causes asthma, how to identify and avoid your triggers, how to use your Asthma Action Plan, when to use your medications and how to monitor your status.

    If you are prescribed an asthma inhaler device, we offer hands-on training sessions with asthma educators or licensed respiratory care practitioners to teach you how to manage your asthma with medication.

    For more information about HealthFirst, call (415) 641-2160.

    What About Allergies?

    For many patients, asthma and allergies go hand-in-hand – and although their effects may be similar – they are two different conditions. Sutter care centers have several services for evaluating, diagnosing and treating a wide range of allergies.

    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.
