American Lung Association: 100 Years Video
The American Lung Association and our local affiliates across the country are committed to continuing our more than 100 years of public health service by supporting lung disease patients and their families with the very best evidence-based programs and services. Support to patients, family members and caregivers is available through Better Breathers Clubs, a national helpline staffed by health professionals and local Lung Association education programs for COPD patients. The Better Breathers Clubs, which help patients and their families learn about tips and techniques to better manage this disease, meet regularly in communities throughout the U.S. The Lung Association also provides funding for COPD research to find a cure in addition to advocating for policies that can help improve quality of life issues for COPD patients. Recently, the American Lung Association sought approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to allow patients needing oxygen to bring portable oxygen concentrators on airplane flights.
