What is the MAAP Coalition? 

In August 2024, MAAP launched the MAAP Coalition Meeting Series, a fresh approach that replaced the previous Healthy Schools and Healthy Housing subcommittee meetings. The MAAP Coalition meetings offer a dynamic platform for asthma stakeholders to learn and strategize together on key issues outlined in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s MA Strategic Plan for Asthma. These include vital topics like Air Quality, Clinical Asthma Management, Healthy Schools, and Healthy Housing, among others.  

Each meeting provides attendees with valuable opportunities to deepen their knowledge and actively contribute to advancing asthma-related initiatives.
