About the Coalition
The mission of the Greater Roanoke Valley
Asthma and Air Quality Coalition is to improve
air quality and respiratory health for the
Greater Roanoke Valley through education and
partnerships with other organizations with
similar goals.
Formed in March 2000, our coalition is comprised
of members ranging from Valley respiratory health
professionals to interested individuals including
people with asthma, pulmonologists, nurse
practitioners, respiratory care practitioners,
registered nurses, allergists, representatives of
the Virginia Department of Health, Virginia
Society of Respiratory Care, Ride Solutions,
American Lung Association, and environmental
groups.
Air quality affects all of us. Pollution can be
found both indoors and outdoors. People with
asthma and other lung disorders are especially
affected by air pollution. We benefit from the
experience of experts who help educate the public
about asthma and the hazards that contribute to
attacks, as well as experts specializing in
environmental issues related to air quality.
We operate as a special committee of the American Lung
Association of Virginia.
