Bay Area Regional Activities

 

 

RAMP has three workgroups -- Environment, Schools, and Clinical -- that focus on regional activities.

The RAMP Environment Committee focuses on reducing environmental triggers of asthma, particularly in disproportionately impacted communities. Current activities focus on diesel reduction, with participation in the Ditching Dirty Diesel Collaborative. RAMP is also interested in work with housing and the built environment. For more information on this committee, please contact Joel Ervice at 510-302-3316 or by email [joel at rampasthma dot org].

The RAMP Schools Committee focuses on education for staff and students, improving indoor air quality in schools, and establishing management and support systems for students with asthma. Among their diverse activities, the Schools Committee hosts an annual regional round table dialogue, bringing people together from across the region to discuss strategies and share best practices. For more information on this committee, please contact Kate Lorenzen at 510-302-3318 or by email [kate at rampasthma dot org].

The RAMP Clinical Committee focuses on connecting clinicians to a public health framework for addressing asthma. RAMP's unique contribution is to connect providers with each other as well as with tools, best practices, coalitions, and advocacy opportunities.
