Pioneer Valley Asthma Coalition

The Pioneer Valley Asthma Coalition (PVAC) is committed to improving asthma and environmental conditions that affect health in Western Massachusetts. To address the high rate of asthma in Springfield MA, PVAC works regionally to raise awareness of asthma as a serious chronic disease, promote best practice asthma care, support communities wrestling with high asthma rates, advocate asthma-friendly systems and policy change, and improve indoor environmental conditions in schools, homes and day care centers throughout the Pioneer Valley.
