Abstract

The Chicago Asthma Consortium is a group that oversees and attempts to improve the outcomes for the asthmatic population of the city of Chicago and is designed to respond to the perceived needs of this community. It has more than 300 members who operate through six standing committees and in its first year of operation, the Chicago Asthma Consortium has seen notable successes, such as the effecting of a change in a restrictive policy on medication use by students in the Chicago public schools. We describe here the details of the function of the Chicago Asthma Consortium and give examples of its effectiveness in dealing with this common, yet complex, disease.
