DC Asthma Partnership

Message from the Chair

Nsedu “Nse” Obot Witherspoon, DCAP Chair

Greetings!  

The DC Asthma Partnership (DCAP) is our primary tool in the district for addressing and improving asthma management and prevention.  DCAP works with multiple partners in a concerted effort to implement the Asthma Strategic Plan’s key strategies with the ultimate goal of improving the health of District residents.  With limited resources and funding in today’s economy, this type of collaboration helps to expand the services and activities towards eliminating asthma. 

I urge you to join with us, to maximize our resources and collaborations in eliminating the burden of asthma in the district.
