Today, we reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose leadership continues to inspire our commitment to advancing health equity across Chicago’s communities.
Dr. King’s call for justice reminds us that addressing asthma is not only a public health priority, it is an equity imperative. In Chicago, asthma disproportionately impacts communities of color, underscoring the ongoing need for equitable access to care, education, and environmental health resources.
As an organization dedicated to improving asthma outcomes, we remain committed to:
Supporting evidence-based education and resources for clinicians, community partners, and families
Advancing conversations around environmental and structural factors that contribute to asthma disparities
Elevating collaboration that drives meaningful, community-centered solutions
Today and every day, we honor Dr. King’s vision by working toward a future where every individual, regardless of neighborhood, background, or circumstance, can breathe easier.
