- Expanded the reach, effectiveness and sustainability of comprehensive asthma control services in Utah.
- Developed partnerships and a screening protocol to address high-risk clients’ social, mental, physical and emotional needs.
- Established a home-visiting program shown to improve asthma outcomes, including a 75 percent reduction in asthma-related emergency department visits.
- Secured sustainable financing for the Utah Asthma Home Visiting Program, which included conducting a return-on-investment analysis that expanded the program to Medicaid members in rural fee-for-service areas.
