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:
