Because
at
least
one
million
people
in
Ohio
have
been
told
that
they
have
asthma,
the
coalition
was
formed
through
a
collaborative
effort
of
the
Ohio
Department
of
Health
Asthma
Program
and
the
American
Lung
Association
of
Ohio.
The
coalition
currently
has
110
members
representing
50
organizations
and
all
the
areas
of
the
state.
The
inaugural
meeting
of
the
coalition
was
held
on
June
3,
2003.
Since
that
time
the
coalition
has
produced
the
Ohio
Statewide
Asthma
Plan
and
implementation
of
the
plan
is
proceeding.
Most
of
the
activity
of
the
coalition
occurs
in
committees.
Each
committee
has
developed
a
strategic
plan
and
is
starting
the
work
of
implementation.
