MACHCAEC meeting at Holyoke Health Center, MA
2018-01-19 12:00 - 13:00 | Holyoke Health Center, 230 Maple St., Holyoke, MA, 01040, United States
The Massachusetts Community Health Centers Asthma Educators’ Collaborative (MACHCAEC)

Join your colleagues for this short lunchtime meeting and learn more about this new Collaborative and how you might be part of this exciting group.

Jacqueline Rodriguez-Louis, MPH, M.Ed., head of Community Outreach Programs at Partners Asthma Center, and
Christopher Fanta, M.D., Director of Partners Asthma Center, will discuss:
“What’s New in Asthma Care Since the 2007 Asthma Guidelines” and introduce the Massachusetts Community Health Centers Asthma Educators’ Collaborative. The presentations will be informal and interactive, including demonstration of the use of new inhaler devices and discussion of how asthma educators practicing at neighborhood health centers across the state can come together to share ideas and information.

Who we are:
The Massachusetts Community Health Centers Asthma Educators’ Collaborative (MACHCAEC) is a new initiative of Partners Asthma Center at Brigham and Wom- en’s Hospital created to fill a gap in communication among asthma educators working in community health centers across the state. The idea for the initiative was the result of conversations with community health centers (CHC) asthma educators who expressed the desire for increased communication with their colleagues working in other CHC across the state.
Goal:
The goal of the MACHCEAC is to provide a forum
– a place for sharing – for all healthcare providers devoted to helping patients and their families manage asthma
Place:
Holyoke Health Center 230 Maple St., Holyoke, MA 01040
Time:
Friday, January 19th, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
