Asthma forum takeaways: No, you don't have to give away the family cat
Amid a multi-part series investigating the burden of asthma on Kentucky families, local experts came together for an Oct. 22 forum hosted by The Courier Journal. Experts from The Courier Journal held a forum to discuss the burden of asthma on Kentucky families. The panelists included Dr. Wes Sublett, a physician at Family Allergy and Asthma, Habiba Darur, former JCPS district health manager; Kimber Knight, community health manager at Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness, and Byron Gary, an attorney at Kentucky Resources Council. The disease can be a result of pollution, particularly in West Louisville, and a lack of access to insurance or proper treatment. Children with asthma are also at risk academically due to high rates of chronic absenteeism due to student illness. Sublett tests patients for allergic and environmental triggers, which can inform a treatment plan.
