Lt. Gov. Askins urges coaches & teachers to take online asthma training

According to the CDC, Asthma is the 3rd leading cause of hospitalization among children under 15. So Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Jari Askins is urging coaches and teachers to take advantage of a free online program dealing with children who have asthma.

The program, "Winning with Asthma" is designed to help coaches learn about asthma, how it affects student athletes, and how coaches, parents & teachers can help students manage their symptoms.

To check out the online program or to recommend it to someone coaching your child, visit http://www.winningwithasthma.org/
