The Coordinated Asthma Referral and Education (CARE) Program provides services that improve the lives of children living with asthma in the West End and Central Valley regions of San Bernardino County.

Facts about asthma:

1. Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects persons of all ages.
   
   
2. Asthma cannot be cured but symptoms can be controlled with medications, and by avoiding triggers that set off an asthma attack.
   
   
3. Asthma symptoms may include wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing.
