Asthma Allies



I have just been selected as a volunteer at this great organization.  I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with various medical teams, including some of the best pulmonologists in NM, in a wide variety of settings to help educate asthma patients, their families and friends about living productively with asthma.

Below is a little bit about Asthma Allies and their mission.  To learn more about the company and the services they offer,  visit www.asthmaallies.org .



Our Company

Asthma Allies is an Albuquerque-based, 501c3 non-profit organization that specializes in asthma education. It was founded in 2005 by two women, Gerri Rivers and Romelia Rodriguez Walters, who joined forces to centralize asthma resources and focus on collaboration and education. Our founders bring over twenty years of combined experience in asthma education, program development, patient care and support services.

Our Mission & Goal

The mission of Asthma Allies is to improve the quality of life for individuals affected with asthma by raising awareness; providing evidence-based education to individuals, families, schools, and healthcare professionals; addressing disparity and access issues; and encouraging comprehensive asthma self-management through a team approach. Co-Founders, Gerri and Romelia, understand that successful asthma management is a team effort.
