May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month

The Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) dedicates the month of May to making the public more aware of how people with allergies and asthma can enjoy a healthier life with education, support services, and the right treatments.

Preferred Care wants to help you prevent illness, live actively, and feel good. Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month is the perfect time to encourage your family - and challenge yourself - to take control of your health.

You can find many simple and easy resources right here on Preferred Care's Web site to help you and your family learn more about asthma and allergies - what can "trigger" them, what to expect when you or your child is diagnosed with asthma, and easy steps you can take to relieve allergy symptoms. It's time to live well!
