Overview
The Wisconsin Asthma Coalition’s (WAC) mission is to develop and implement a sustainable statewide action plan that expands and improves the quality of asthma education, prevention, management, and services and eliminates the disproportionate burden of asthma in racial/ethnic and low-income populations.

Since the WAC’s inception in 2001 the role of the Alliance has been to coordinate the coalition, which has grown to over 200 members, and facilitate the creation and implementation of the Wisconsin Asthma Plan.

The WAC Executive Committee meets monthly in-person to guide, monitor, and make recommendations to implement the Wisconsin Asthma Plan.

Funding
The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) Asthma Program has received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 2001 to support coalition activities and intensive statewide surveillance. The Alliance is contracted by DHFS to coordinate the WAC and the creation, distribution and implementation of the Wisconsin Asthma Plan. The current funding, a three-year enhanced planning grant from CDC Cooperative Agreement (Award Number U59/CCU524190-03), "Enhancing State Capacity to Address Asthma," continues coalition efforts and implementation of the plan.
