Melissa Williams, a respiratory therapist at Propeller, was featured in an article from CityLab that discussed a program in Louisville that uses GPS to evaluate and control asthma.

This was Vermeland’s first year to help with the camp, and she’s already planning for the next camp. Read the story in the Chicago Tribune.
