From February 2004 through June 2007 and then again in January 2008, funding for the work of the Arizona Asthma Coalition was secured through a contract with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Additional funding for many of the Coalition’s education projects and the annual Arizona Asthma Conference have been made possible by generous sponsorships and support from individuals and organizations.
