• Developing and implementing a State Asthma Plan that effectively addresses asthma in all ages, ethnic groups, backgrounds, and in multiple settings.
• Increasing public awareness of the importance of reducing the burden of asthma and the need for supportive policies and environments.
• Providing technical assistance and resources to help support local asthma coalitions.
• Providing leadership and administration for the statewide asthma coalition, the Asthma Alliance of North Carolina (AANC).
