We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Matt Siemer, President of the Chicago Asthma Consortium Board of Directors.

For more than a decade, Matt was a visionary leader, advocate, and mentor who brought compassion, structure, and a client-centered public health perspective to our work. Under his leadership, CAC expanded its impact, strengthened its resources, and supported hundreds of individuals living with asthma across Chicagoland.

Matt’s passion, authenticity, and commitment to our mission will be profoundly missed. We honor his legacy by continuing to advocate for people living with asthma, and we hold his family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Proud to Represent at CHEST 2025!

The Chicago Asthma Consortium was well-represented at this year’s CHEST Annual Conference, where our President Matt Siemer and Executive Director Rachelle Paul-Brutus, MPH, joined clinicians, researchers, and public health experts from across the country to advance the conversation around asthma care and respiratory health.

We’re energized by the collaboration, the research, and the shared commitment to improving outcomes for individuals living with asthma. Thank you to CHEST for creating a space that fosters learning, connection, and action.

Looking forward to applying these learnings as we continue championing asthma education, advocacy, and community health across our region.
