The WV Asthma Education and Prevention Program (AEPP) is seeking to ensure that all of our state's asthma education and prevention organizations - from state government programs to non-profit organizations - are working together to educate about asthma in every community on all fronts, from prevention and early diagnosis,  to proper treatment, medication and equipment availability, and quality of life.

AEPP works to increase coordination and cooperation between asthma related organizations and programs throughout the state. By joining forces our goal is to increase access to asthma information and resources while promoting awareness and education.

AEPP was awarded funds by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through a two year cooperative agreement with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. AEPP is one of 33 states, tribes, and territories funded for asthma activities. With these funds, the Program funds the operation and facilitation of a statewide asthma coalition (WVAC) as well as other asthma initiatives.
