About this Program
The Primary Care Asthma Program is an evidence-based education and management program for those with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of asthma or COPD.
A Certified Respiratory Educator (CRE) teaches clients how to identify symptoms, manage medications, and master breathing and medical device techniques. In addition, we offer spirometry (breathing test) to rostered clients of any community health centre (CHC) physician or nurse practitioner in Ottawa.
