Asthma Education Classes offered at Parkview
Parkview Medical Center, along with sponsors Asthma and Allergy Associates
and Steps to a Healthier Colorado, are proud to offer two creative and
informative Asthma Education classes. The goal of these asthma educational
opportunities is to learn how to manage, prevent and control asthma symptoms.
The first class, Huff & Puff: The Children’s Asthma Program, teaches children
age four to ten about asthma through games, music, creative play and dialogue.
Children learn how to take an active role in their care. Children are treated to
a performance from two fun-loving puppets named Huff and Puff. Puff has had
asthma for a long time and has learned how to control it. Huff has just been
diagnosed with asthma and doesn’t know what to do. So Puff teaches Huff the
Five-Step Plan of asthma management. Classes will be held on May 9, Sep 19 and
Nov 14. Classes are from 4 - 6 pm. The cost of the class is $10 per family, per
session. All materials and dinner is included in the price and babysitting is
also available.
The second class, ASTHMA 101, is for all ages and teaches the entire family
the basics about asthma, respiratory anatomy, peak flow meters, triggers,
medications, management and more. This class is recommended for adults with
asthma and parents of parents of children with asthma. Classes will be held on
May 2, Sep 12, and Nov 7. Classes are from 5 - 8 pm, with registration
and dinner from 5 - 5:30 pm. The cost of the class is $10 per family per
session. All materials and dinner is included in the price and babysitting is
also available.
