CTK Clinical Consultants was founded
in 2002 by Alfred J. Keith, BA, CRT. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics Educational
Program of Respiratory Therapy at National-Louis University, where he received his B.A. degree in Allied Health. His passion
for education paved the way for him to become the respiratory supervisor for pediatrics and respiratory coordinator of the
NICU at the University of Chicago Hospitals.
In 2004, CTK Clinical Consultants received the Excellence in Community
Education Award from the American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago. In February of 2006, CTK reached a milestone
of delivering asthma education to over 2,500 Chicago Public Schools staff members as part of the Asthma 101 program sponsored
by the American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago.
Al Keith and the music from CTK's "Asthma Blues"® asthma education CD, are currently featured in the Asthma Control Everyday (ACE) video. The ACE
video is a component of the Asthma Control Everyday asthma education program, a joint project by Children's Hospital, University
of Missouri Health Care and Asthma Ready.org. The Asthma Control Everyday program was recently released in August of
2011.
