Despite robust evidence of their impact\, however\, programs historically have had to rely on unstable grant funding to provide services. But in recent years\, that pattern has begun to shift\, and we have seen progress in communities and states across the country in building systems for sustainable asthma home visiting services. \nThere are many pathways for achieving sustainable home-based asthma services. As such\, progress can look different from one place to the next. This webinar\, hosted by Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH)\, will feature success stories from across the country\, highlighting both state Medicaid policy advances\, and stories about local partnerships\, and other innovations that create a groundswell for statewide change; all serving as models for new community action. \nLearning Objectives: By the end of this webinar\, participants will: \n\nUnderstand what progress and pathways for building systems to expand and sustain access to home-based asthma services might look like\nIdentify one or more pathways that may lead toward sustainable home-based asthma services in their community or state • Know how to access free technical assistance and tools to support efforts in their community or state.\n\nPanelists: \n\nLynly Siag\, New York State Department of Health\nPeggy Gaddy\, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services\nEric Armbrecht\, Saint Louis University\nNatalie Talis\, Alexandria Health Department\nMolly Zemke\, Wisconsin Department of Health Services\nPaula Holigan\, New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services URL:https://prcceh.upenn.edu/event/sustainable-financing-for-home-based-asthma-services-snapshots-of-innovation-and-progress-across-the-country/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:seminar,virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://prcceh.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/142626239_xl-123RF-milkos.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260602T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260602T180000 DTSTAMP:20260501T020627 CREATED:20260316T150430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T150431Z UID:6194-1780387200-1780423200@prcceh.upenn.edu SUMMARY:20th Annual CEET Symposium DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate two decades of groundbreaking environmental health research at Penn.
