May Is Asthma Awareness Month
As Asthma Awareness Month comes to a close, it is important to know that asthma causes concerns beyond physical health. Missed school days, work days, and high medical costs from unexpected hospitalizations.
Many asthma triggers can be environmental including high pollen and hot days. And some can be in the home including mold, pests, and poor ventilation.
Take the quick quiz below to determine if YOUR home is healthy or to learn more about ways to reduce asthma triggers in your home.

Springfield Named #1 Asthma Capital
Springfield tops the list as the most difficult place to live with asthma, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. The American Lung Association has announced that air quality is a huge concern. The State of the Air report gives Springfield a D grade for ozone. As the ALA says, this is like a sunburn on your lungs.
A $750,000 Grant to address Asthma has been issued to Baystate Healthcare Alliance/ BeHealthy Partnership ACO by the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission (HPC) as part of their SHIFT-Care Challenge. This grant expands the Springfield Healthy Homes Asthma program. Revitalize CDC is working in partnership with:

- Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts (program and data management)
- Pioneer Valley Asthma Coalition and Green & Healthy Homes Initiative.(advisory committee)
- Baystate Medical Center’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Department (community health worker home visiting)
