CAI nurse case managers, such as Massiel Ortiz, RN, provide families with a continuum of healthcare services so children with asthma can live healthy and active lifestyles.

Home visits provide busy parents and caretakers with convenient access to health education, home assessments, asthma management tools, and community resources.

Through this approach, nurse case managers are able to identify asthma triggers, environmental factors and barriers to healthcare. With vital input and collaboration from the patient family, the case manager develops an asthma management plan.
