Community Pediatric Asthma Service

About Us

Our Team...

...of licensed Respiratory Therapists (RT) are nationally Certified Respiratory Educators (CREs) with years of clinical and teaching experience.

We work closely with community doctors to support current, best-practice asthma management.  Our goal in the community, as well as with this website, is to help people understand and manage their asthma.

Where to send pediatric patients

We Believe:

  • asthma should not stop you from doing anything you want to do
  • you and your family are important partners in managing your health and taking control of your asthma
  • we are successful when you or your child can say "I can control my asthma now!" (iCAN)

More than 3 million Canadians of all ages have asthma, but the good news is that asthma can be treated and well-controlled.  This means it doesn't have to interfere with you or your child's daily life.

Our Commitment:

  • Our clinical team of licensed Respiratory Therapists (RT) are nationally Certified Respiratory Educators (CREs) work closely with community doctors to support current, best-practice asthma management    
  • Our website is updated with relevant news items as they become available.  All content, including documents and tools, is reviewed and updated annually to provide medically accurate, consistent information for our visitors

Our Mission:

  • At the Community Pediatric Asthma Service we provide asthma education to pediatric asthma patients and their families in and around Calgary 
  • Our community outreach, health care provider education, and website exist to help children with asthma manage their health and take control of their asthma, allowing them to lead full, active, and normal lives
  • You may be referred to us for asthma education by your family physician or pediatrician, your community pharmacist, an Emergency Department or Urgent Care Centre if you have an asthma emergency or the Asthma Clinic at the Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary
