MDH releases updated framework to address asthma in Minnesota 

Breathe Better Minnesota 

Welcome to the "Asthma in Minnesota : A Strategic Framework 2026-2030".

This Framework aims to guide efforts to improve asthma care and management across the whole state of Minnesota. It is intended to reach and reflect the priorities of all communities from Greater Minnesota to the Twin Cities metro area, children and youth to elderly, and of individuals of all abilities, family structures, and other differences that contribute to the richness of our state. It is a collective framework that belongs to all of us!

The goal is for this Framework to be user-friendly and adoptable for health care providers, public health, Tribal Health, educators, community health workers, trusted messengers, community organizations and leaders, businesses, families, and others. It provides practical information, strategies, and links to tools and resources to help inform your efforts around asthma.
