Allergy and Asthma Network

The Allergy & Asthma Network works with national and local partners to train healthcare professionals and host events and screenings that reach people directly in their communities. This organization focuses on raising awareness to educate millions each year with easy-to-understand, medically reviewed resources in English and Spanish. They advocate at the federal and state levels to improve access to care and affordable medications; They also work to ensure the patient voice is included in research and drug development.

Their goal is to improve quality of life and achieve equitable and optimal health outcomes for adults and children living with these chronic conditions, especially those in underserved communities.

For their Member Impact project, The Allergy and Asthma Network project was focused on advocacy, awareness, and education for patients and caregivers on topics related to eczema, atopic dermatitis and skin of color, urticaria, angioedema, and hives, eczema in children, face masks, and facial eczema. 

The project was very successful with 1276 attendees during their webinar, 1365 views on their videos, 6500 views on their web articles, as well as 550 views on their e-news. 

The content that was shared during the campaign was also reviewed by medical editors, presented in various languages so that patients and their families could understand, and there was a consistency of monthly communications to increase awareness and empower patients.
