About Us    En Español

In January 2000, the American Lung Association of New Jersey and
the New Jersey Thoracic Society initiated the formation of The
Pediatric/Adult Asthma Coalition of New Jersey (PACNJ) to act as
a statewide clearinghouse for asthma programs and services.

Today the American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic,
serving Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
sponsors the Pediatric/Adult Asthma Coalition of New Jersey

With over 70 members on six task forces, PACNJ is working
with schools, child care providers, health care providers, health insurers,
community groups and environmental agencies to reach all individuals
in New Jersey with the most effective methods for managing their asthma.

Our programs and information are based on the “Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma”
from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
