As a Superior member, you have access to Superior's Asthma Disease Management program. If your asthma is mostly under control but you still need ongoing support from a health coach we can help. Disease Management connects you to a registered or certified respiratory therapist to help you manage your asthma symptoms. They can help you answer questions like:
- What sets off my "asthma attacks?"
- When do I need to take my asthma medicines?
- How can I stop an “attack” before it starts?
- Should I go to the hospital if I think I’m having trouble breathing?
- What can I do to lower my chance of an "attack?"
