May marks National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month—a time to spotlight the challenges faced by more than 100 million Americans living with asthma and allergies. Led by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), this initiative promotes public education and advocates for improved access to care.
Understanding the Impact
Asthma and allergies are more than seasonal inconveniences—they’re chronic conditions that can significantly affect quality of life. Here in the Midwest, fluctuating pollen levels and unpredictable weather can intensify symptoms, sometimes leading to emergency visits or hospitalizations.
2025 Theme: Accessibility for All
This year, AAFA’s theme is “Make Asthma and Allergy Treatments Accessible for All.” Access to care is essential—without it, unmanaged symptoms can escalate and put people at risk. Ensuring equitable access to treatment is a key part of improving health outcomes.
