Vivant Health & Community Resource Project Launch Community Supports Asthma Remediation Program to Support Those Impacted by Conditions

SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With the support of funding and technical assistance from the Department of Health Care Services PATH-CITED Grant Initiative and the PATH-CITED TA Market Place, respectively, Vivant Health and Community Resource Project, Inc. (CRP) have announced a groundbreaking partnership to launch an Asthma Remediation Community Supports (AR-CS) Initiative, aimed at serving individuals and families adversely affected by asthma in the greater Sacramento region.

Through this initiative, Vivant Health will assess patient healthcare needs and connect eligible families with CRP, which will provide in-home assessments, asthma remediation services, and access to additional health-related resources. The program will focus on minority and disadvantaged communities, where multi-family households in older homes often face poor ventilation, mold issues, and outdated heating and A/C systems. Many of these families cannot afford necessary repairs, making the provision of these AR-CS services essential for managing asthma symptoms and triggers, improving living conditions and overall health outcomes.

"At Vivant Health, our mission is to advance health equity by addressing the medical and non-medical needs that shape people's lives. This partnership with Community Resource Project reflects that commitment. By connecting families to essential in-home services like asthma remediation, we are tackling the social and environmental factors that drive chronic illness. Together, we are not just treating conditions. We are building the foundation for healthier homes, healthier families, and healthier communities." - Sarath Artham, CEO Vivant Health

CRP's new Executive Director, Wilfredo Cruz expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating:

"This is a very exciting opportunity for CRP to partner with Vivant Health on this health initiative. The home assessments and asthma remediation services will significantly improve the health of those we serve. The cost of asthma-related illnesses in disadvantaged communities is substantial and at CRP, our vision is to create healthy, inclusive, and vibrant communities. This grant will help us to advance this vision for the residents in the greater Sacramento region."
