#National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects people of all ages, including many families across Hawaiʻi. Managing asthma in the islands can be especially important due to environmental factors such as humidity, seasonal pollen, trade winds, and volcanic emissions that can affect air quality. With May being National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, now is an important time to understand how to recognize symptoms and take steps to manage asthma effectively.
