Bronx Emergency Asthma Management (B.E.A.M) is administered by SOBRAP and represents collaboration between Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center Emergency Room and Pediatric Department, Visiting Nurse Services of New York (VNSNY), Health People, and Healthy Nest.  The purpose of this initiative is to “support the delivery of effective and efficient clinical care and self-management, including case management services for high-risk children and families.” (NYSDOH).

 The project aims to identify poorly managed asthmatic children who frequent the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center’s Emergency Department and refer them to an all-inclusive home intervention program.  After identifying at-risk children, home visits are primarily made by VNSNY but also by Health People and SOBRAP staff.  Home interventions include evaluation for triggers, a referral for Integrated Pest Management services if indicated, education in the home regarding medications and self-management, and, if necessary, case management.

 The overall goal of BEAM is to reduce the number of emergency room visits due to asthma and provide the education and recourses to proper asthma management.

 Better Breathing in the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center

“ A Zone of Asthma Education”

 Better Breathing in the Bronx is a collaborative project designed for schools and communities that combines the educational programs of Health Plus, Asthma Free School Zone, NYC DOE and accepted school asthma education curricula.  This project was designed by the SOBRAP School Education Working Group.

By combing resources of several community organizations, asthma has been and will continue to be addressed from an environmental, educational and health perspective while creating a “zone of asthma action and awareness” within and surrounding each school involved in the program.  The purpose of this project is to target and educate children, parents, school faculty and staff, and community members about asthma and asthma management.

The goal of this project is to reduce asthma-related school absences, to provide school nurses with the means to treat their students’ asthma and allow them to return to class and to provide all school staff, students, parents and community agencies surrounding the school with the knowledge and ability to control and manage asthma.
