The AT HOME Program is offered in partnership with the American Respiratory Alliance of Western Pennsylvania, and the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Allegheny General Hospital has partnered with the program as well and will continue offering allergy tests, blood draws for lead testing and spirometry as an extra service to families till the end of September.

To be eligible for the AT HOME program, children must be age 4-17, spend a minimum of four nights in the home a week and live in a single-family home. Confident that more funds will be found to expand the program, executive director John Gallo said AT HOME is now building a new waiting list. To reach AT HOME, call 412-965-8119.
