In a continued effort to reduce the burden of asthma on families on the South Side of Chicago, the South Side Pediatric Asthma Center (SSPAC), powered by the University of Chicago Medicine, has launched a toll-free Asthma Resource Line.
Effective immediately, community members looking for asthma information may call 1-833-3ASTHMA (1-833-327-8462) to ask questions, learn about asthma-related community resources, and get help connecting to their primary care physician.
The Asthma Resource Line is operated by the South Side Pediatric Asthma Center, a collaboration involving UChicago Medicine's Urban Health Initiative and Comer Children’s Hospital, as well as local health providers La Rabida Children’s Hospital, Friend Family Health Center and St. Bernard Hospital. This collaboration is designed to expand the network of providers and caregivers trained to identify and treat asthma.
