MediLexicon reports that the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and The HealthCentral Network have teamed together to create a new online research center for people struggling with asthma and other allergic disorders. ‘This partnership with The HealthCentral Network offers us a valuable modern vehicle to disseminate our extensive library of multimedia educational materials,’ says Mike Tringale of AAFA. For many, finding helpful information on asthma and other allergic disorders is not always easy to come by. However, the new interactive library at MyAsthmaCentral.com allows any asthma or allergy sufferer to obtain access to a comprehensive medical database. Not only does the website provide extensive medical information, but it also seeks to connect asthma and allergy sufferers with a community of others who have had similar experiences and issues. With more than 50 million Americans with allergies and 20 million with asthma, the newly formed partnership hopes to provide a site to build awareness and understanding.
