Asthma Consultations

Page Content

Asthma is a disease that causes the airways of the lungs to tighten and swell. Asthma makes breathing difficult and can cause wheezing, coughing, or tightness in the chest. Asthma can be a very serious disease, but with proper management a person with asthma can live a healthy and active life.

Free asthma consultations for low-income children

Public Health offers a free program for children ages 0-17​ diagnosed with asthma who live in the county.

A public health nurse can visit and work with the family on ways to reduce the child’s symptoms. The nurse can help the family learn about asthma, discuss community resources available to decrease exposure to triggers in the home, and assist in developing an asthma action plan. 

For more information, contact Dakota County Public Health at 651-554-6115.

Refer yourself or a client

Individuals and professionals can refer someone to family health programs or you can refer yourself. Please fill out the Referral to Family Health Home Visiting Form, and if you have questions or need assistance, contact phintake@co.dakota.mn.us.
