Differences in neighborhood housing quality\, p revalence of pest and chemical pest control\, the psychosocial environment \, and other systemic factors are likely drivers of the disparities. As p hysicians\, we often think of asthma management as it relates to inhaler t reatments and techniques. However\, given asthma’s pathophysiology link ed to environmental pollutants\, the lived environment intimately intersec ts with asthma health outcomes. This talk will outline an innovate clinic al program at Mount Sinai that addresses environmental and social determin ants of health for children with poorly-controlled asthma. We will explore how our program translates the science into a comprehensive clinical appr oach to improve asthma outcomes in our patients.​\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\ nTime: Oct. 19\, 2022 12:00 PM Eastern Time \n\n \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting:\n\ nhttps://mssm.zoom.us/j/86991135381\n\n \n\nMeeting ID: 869 9113 5381\n\nO ne tap mobile\n\n+16699006833\,\,86991135381# US (San Jose)\n\n+1669444917 1\,\,86991135381# US\n\n \n\nDial by your location\n\n +1 669 900 6 833 US (San Jose)\n\n +1 669 444 9171 US\n\n +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n\n +1 719 359 4580 US\n\n +1 564 217 2000 US\n\n +1 646 931 3860 US\n\n +1 929 436 2866 US (New York)\n\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Washing ton DC)\n\n +1 309 205 3325 US\n\n +1 312 626 6799 US (Chica go)\n\n +1 386 347 5053 US LOCATION: SUMMARY:Integrating the Environment into Clinical Care: Lessons from a Pedi atric Environmental Asthma Program- Dr. Erin Thanik & Dr. Lauren Zajac URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.mountsinaihealth.org/event/integrating_the_env ironment_into_clinical_care_lessons_from_a_pediatric_environmental_asthma_ program-_dr_erin_thanik_dr_lauren_zajac CATEGORIES:Lecture/Seminar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
