INHALE Mission & Vision

The Inspiring Health Advances in Lung Care (INHALE) aims to engage and empower Primary Care Providers (PCPs), Specialists (SCPs), and Physician Organizations (POs) across the state to improve patient outcomes, address inequalities in care, and promote high-value health care for children and adults with asthma and adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
