CTC-RI Asthma QI Project Highlighted at New England School Nurse Conference

CTC-RI was proud to have its' “Asthma ECHO & Quality Improvement Project” Poster presented at the May 2025 New England School Nurse Conference 2025 in Deven, MA. 

School nurse Colleen O'Donnell, from George J. West Elementary School in Providence, RI (pictured on right), presented a poster highlighting the recent CTC-RI School Nurse Collaboration with Pediatrics Quality Improvement Project. This initiative strengthened communication and collaboration between school nurses and pediatric offices, with the shared goal of improving health outcomes for students with asthma.

Approximately 225 school nurses from across all six New England states attended the conference.  This project was made possible through the generous support of the Rhode Island Department of Health and Point32Health, whose partnership has been instrumental in advancing asthma care and school-pediatrics collaboration across the state.

Special thanks to Colleen O'Donnell for representing CTC-RI and sharing the important work of our School Nurse-Pediatrics Asthma Collaboration. Your leadership and commitment to student health continue to make a lasting impact.  Thank you for being a voice for this vital work!
