What You Schould Know

The Starlight Starbright foundation presents:

The Quest for the Code:  a FREE CD Rom video game about Asthma & how to control it. (designed for children from grades 2-5, also in Spanish)

Cyrus has chosen YOU to help him battle a team of asthma villians who are trying to convince kids that asthma can't be managed. 

Throughout the game, Cyrus teaches you when and how to use different medications, how asthma affects the lungs, and how to talk to your friends about asthma. You'll need this knowledge in order to outsmart the villains... and win back the pieces of the code.

Carry & Use "Inhaler Law"
New York State Consolidated Laws: Education
S 916. Pupils afflicted with asthma. The board of education or trustees of each school district and board of cooperative educational services shall allow pupils who have been diagnosed by a physician or other duly authorized health care provider with a severe asthmatic condition to carry and use a prescribed inhaler during the school day, with the written permission of a physician or other duly authorized health care provider, and parental consent, based on such physician's or provider’s determination that such pupil is subject to sudden asthmatic attacks severe enough to debilitate such pupil. A record of such permission shall be maintained in the school office.



We continue to be amazed at the scope of work RCAN is able to do with such little funding. They have been key to building partnerships to develop the Asthma QI projects in the Emergency Department, Inpatient & Outpatient Clinic settings. They have truly made a difference through their efforts! The community, health care providers and especially the families benefit from everything that RCAN does.
