Bridgewater, NJ- With an estimated 300,000 New Jersey children diagnosed with asthma and subject to its potentially dangerous health effects, the Horizon Foundation of New Jersey has created a state-wide program – BEAM (Breathe Easier with Asthma Management) – to improve awareness, education and treatment of asthma. The program is being funded through a $500,000 foundation grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey (BGCNJ), which is implementing BEAM throughout the state.
“While asthma cannot be cured, asthma attacks can be prevented, so young people with this condition, with the proper training and knowledge, can take control of their health,” said Robert A. Marino, Chairman and CEO of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and Chairman of the Horizon Foundation for New Jersey. “BEAM is consistent with the mission of the Foundation to work closely with community organizations to help New Jerseyans make informed decisions about their health and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.”
