About the Community Asthma Prevention Program (CAPP)

The Community Asthma Prevention Program (CAPP) offers free education and care coordination support to families of children in Philadelphia with asthma. Based on a curriculum developed at Georgetown University, You Can Control Asthma, we structure our classes so that both caregivers and children can learn at the same time.

CAPP works in many Philadelphia communities to provide:

  • Free asthma education classes in familiar environments, such as schools, churches, daycare centers and community centers throughout the city
  • Home visits in Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware counties to address the home environment of children with asthma and to provide one-on-one education
  • Asthma resources for professionals, students and school personnel
