Asthma is the number-one reason children miss school, and the leading cause of hospitalization for children in Northeast Florida. It is estimated that more than 60,000 people with asthma live in the greater Jacksonville area, and many of them are children whose families are unaware they have the disease.
To combat the devastating and sometimes life-threatening effects of asthma, the Community Asthma Partnership was established in 1992 as a grassroots coalition of volunteers from the private and public sectors 
committed to improving asthma awareness, education, access and the standard of care in the community. The program is now called Community Asthma Partnership at Wolfson and is located on the campus of Wolfson Children's Hospital.
This cooperative effort, comprised of hospitals, the Duval County Health Department, and pediatric and adult pulmonologists and allergists across the region, is aimed at enhancing asthma awareness, education and quality of care, while increasing access to asthma care, regardless of insurance status.
