The Center strives for continuity of care with referring physicians. Education is a very important component of the Center's activities. Patient and family education is conducted at each patient encounter regardless of setting. Education-based research endeavors will soon be incorporated into the program's activities. The first endeavor will be the development of a comprehensive asthma program designed to address the unique problems involved with caring for children with asthma in a rural setting.
