We're headed to Washington, D.C. to IMPACT Lung Health this week!
Each year, the COPD Foundation mobilizes lung health advocates for a day of meetings on Capitol Hill. We work hand in hand with our COPD community members to ensure that every member of Congress knows what COPD stands for and why they should support funding for research, public health education, and improved access to necessary treatments like oxygen, non-invasive ventilation, and pulmonary rehabilitation.

It is not our intention to serve as a substitute for medical advice and any content posted should not be used for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. We make every effort to support our members, our medical professionals cannot and will not provide a diagnosis or suggest a specific medication; those decisions should be left to your personal medical team. While we encourage individuals to share their personal experiences with COPD, please consult a physician before making changes to your own COPD management plan.
Community posts are monitored by the 360social Community Manager, as well as staff respiratory therapists, educators, and other medical professionals.
