At NCFP we offer counseling with our Certified Asthma Educator with Jan Danilson, RN. Our goal is to provide knowledge and skills to help asthma patients achieve more symptom-free days.

Jan Danilson first got interested in asthma because she has asthma herself. As part of her nursing, she’s seen a lot of people with asthma come to our Urgent Care Clinic. To get certified as an asthma education, she’s completed 6 weeks of additional training as well as passed an exam. She’s excited to help patients get better control of their asthma.

  • Have asthma symptoms awakened you at night more than 2 times a month?

If you answered yes to any of these questions your asthma may not be as well controlled as it could be. Discuss this with your health care provider or ask to be referred to asthma education.
