The Oregon Asthma Program's vision is to improve the quality of life for Oregonians with asthma so that all people in Oregon live, work, play, and learn in communities that support health and optimal quality of life.

Our mission is to advance policies, environments, and systems that promote health and prevent and manage asthma and other chronic diseases.
