There is no cure for asthma or allergies, which is why research is so important. AAFA supports research that will lead to better care, more effective treatments and, one day, a cure.

Since May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to spotlight health research and how it can help those with asthma and allergies.

On Friday, May 13, AAFA is co-sponsoring a Congressional briefing, From Discovery to Delivery: Research at Work Against Allergies and Asthma. The briefing will include patients, doctors and researchers as speakers.

During the briefing, they will share and talk about:

• the impact both conditions have on Americans’ health
• how health research is working to improve medical care and quality of life
• the best ways to make sure that everyone with asthma and allergies is able to receive treatment

AAFA believes it is important that all patients are able to get the best care possible and that treatment is available to everyone who needs it. Learn more about our work here.
