Before moving, for every 100 children, there were approximately 88 severe asthma attacks per year. After moving, there were approximately 40 severe attacks per year, a reduction of more than 50%. The webinar will explore factors that help explain these changes in asthma, including the critical role of neighborhood-related stress, and describes...

With transportation assistance, many older adults and people with disabilities can shop for groceries, get to medical appointments, stay connected and engaged, and otherwise access everyday locations and participate in their community.
Partnering to help people connect to transportation options is therefore a critical component of making community living possible.
