Statewide Plan

The Mississippi State Asthma Plan is a statewide effort to bridge to the gap and ensure that people with asthma across the state have access to asthma information, care, and services. The plan will minimize duplication of effort and maximize resource use.

Who can use and implement the state asthma plan?
Asthma partners (coalition members, etc.) will implement specific portions of the state plan because of their own interest in asthma.

Are their state plans for other diseases in Mississippi?
Yes. There are state plans written for Arthritis, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke, and Tobacco. Please visit the Mississippi Department of Health web site for more information: www.msdh.state.ms.us.

About the CA-E program

The National Asthma Educator Certification Board (NAECB) supports proper asthma management and quality of life among asthmatics, their families and communities, by improving asthma education through the certified asthma educator process.

By receiving Asthma Educator Certification, one becomes an official asthma educator. Asthma educators are experts in counseling asthmatics and their families on how to manage their asthma and to minimize its effect on their quality of life. In order to be eligible, candidates must either be a licensed or credentialed health care professional or provide asthma education, counseling, or coordinating services with a minimum of 1,000 hours experience in these activities.
