Hi everyone! According to the COPD Action Alliance's white paper "COPD in America," nearly one-third of surveyed COPD patients said they faced barriers to getting needed medication, treatments, or medical supplies. The COPD Foundation Captain Program advocates for policies to improve treatment access for the lung health community - you can learn more about it here: https://www.copdfoundation.org/Take-Action/Get-Involved/State-Captains.aspx
What has been the biggest barrier to COPD care for you, your loved one, or your patients?
