Asthma Self-Management Education Program

This free program helps people learn about asthma and steps they can take to better control asthma symptoms. Studies show that people who get education for asthma self-management, along with their medical care, can improve their asthma control.

Asthma can't be cured but it can be managed. Well-controlled asthma means you can enjoy an active, healthy life.

Asthma Action Plans

An asthma action plan, also called "asthma management plan", is a form to keep track of medications, remind you what your peak flow is, and indicate what steps to take if you have an asthma attack. Sit down with your doctors and ask them to fill out a written action plan. Have your plan updated at least once a year.

Seized Drug Unit

The Seized Drug Unit identifies controlled substances seized by law enforcement agencies. The evidence analyzed is usually presented in the form of pills, powders and plant material. Our analysts use sophisticated instrumentation and techniques to weigh and identify various controlled substances, such as cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.

Drug Testing and Analysis

Testing methods for the identification of controlled substances include Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
