Breathing Easier: What's New in the Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma
Pediatric asthma remains one of the most common chronic conditions in U.S. children, and the environment plays a bigger role than ever.

This webinar walked healthcare providers and school nurses through key updates to the guidelines, including new guidance on climate-related triggers like wildfire smoke and extreme heat, a personalized approach to allergen management, and practical tools for taking environmental histories and counseling families.
