Chicago Asthma Consortium’s 2026 Educational Forum equips community health workers with trusted resources and tools to support asthma education and outreach across Chicago.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Washington, D.C., June 11, 2026 \u2013 On May 21, the Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae Certification Program<\/a>\u00a0returned to Chicago to support a hands-on educational forum designed to equip community health workers with practical asthma education tools and outreach resources.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Hosted by the\u00a0Chicago Asthma Consortium (CAC)<\/a>\u00a0at Sinai Health System’s Glasser Auditorium, the Community Health Worker Educational Forum brought together community health workers (CHWs) and asthma educators from across the city for a day of training, networking, and collaborative outreach. The Certification Program participated as a supporting educational partner alongside CAC and a coalition of Certified partners.<\/p>\n

The forum was led by Karmin Wright, Asthma Outreach and Education Coordinator at the South Side Pediatric Asthma Center, with a featured presentation from Martha Baca-Ryan, Ambulatory Case Manager at Sinai Medical Group. A panel discussion with Jannette Guzman and Jorge Hernandez of the Sinai Urban Health Institute, and Jenay Plummer of the South Side Pediatric Asthma Center, offered attendees practical strategies for engaging families managing asthma in underserved Chicago communities.<\/p>\n

As part of the event’s community engagement session, attendees helped pack 300 Asthma & Allergy Friendly Resource Tote Bags filled with educational materials provided by the\u00a0Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)\u00a0<\/a>and contributions from Certified partners. The bags will now support asthma outreach in schools, clinics, churches, and community centers throughout Chicago. Nationally, more than 106 million people in the United States live with asthma and\/or allergies, with the burden falling heaviest in communities where trusted, community-based education and healthier home environments remain out of reach for many families.<\/p>\n

“At the Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification Program, our mission extends beyond certifying products\u2014we are committed to supporting education and awareness initiatives that help people live healthier lives. We are proud to partner with organizations like the Chicago Asthma Consortium to advance community-based education around trigger management, indoor environmental health, and asthma prevention,” said Leah McInerney, Client Success Lead of the Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification Program.<\/p>\n

“The Chicago Asthma Consortium is honored and grateful to partner with the team and partners from Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification Program for the second consecutive year. We truly appreciate your support for the 2026 Community Health Workers (CHW) Party with a purpose,” said Rachelle Paul-Brutus, Executive Director of the Chicago Asthma Consortium. “This event reflects the power of partnership in creating meaningful opportunities for our community and CHWs. By working together, we can expand access to resources, strengthen local connections, educate many families on the seriousness of asthma and allergies, and make a lasting impact for all.”<\/p>\n

The Certification Program extends its gratitude to Knauf North America, manufacturer of Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certified insulation products, for its continued sponsorship and partnership. Through its support of the Certification Program, Knauf helped advance the forum’s mission of equipping community health workers with practical resources, educational materials, and tools to support families living with asthma in communities across Chicago.<\/p>\n

“Through our Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certified insulation, Knauf is committed to supporting indoor air quality for families living with asthma and allergies,” said Tim Cofran, Director of Marketing & Brand at Knauf. “We are proud to support the Chicago Asthma Consortium and the important work of connecting communities with trusted education and resources.”<\/p>\n

The Certification Program also extends its appreciation to Certified partners Alen, Blueair, Filtrete\u2122, Kleenex\u00ae, Live Comfortably, National Allergy, Rabbit Air, Renegade Brands and SIJO for their generous contributions of Certified product donations, samples, and exclusive offers, equipping community health workers with tools to share with the families and neighborhoods they serve.<\/p>\n

The event reflects the mission of the Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification Program: to help reduce the burden of asthma through independently Certified products, science-based education, and trusted community partnerships.<\/p>\n
