- CVS/pharmacy Draw A Breath Asthma Education Program
In a partnership to educate parents, children and health care
providers about pediatric asthma, Hasbro Children's Hospital and
CVS/pharmacy launched the CVS/pharmacy Draw A Breath Asthma Education
Program, which included the production of a book and videotape,
both called Relieve the Squeeze: How to Take Control of Your
Asthma, for pre-teens and teenagers. Based at Hasbro Children's
Hospital, this is an innovative, multifaceted education and advocacy
program to assist families and children with asthma. The goal
of Draw A Breath is the same as the National Lung and Blood Institute
1997 guidelines: for every child with asthma and their family
to have a clear, written, physician-designed plan for asthma control.
