Why Join a Better Breathers Club?
The American Lung Association's Better Breathers Club program has connected people living with lung disease to education, support, and each other in communities around the country for over 50 years. The support group provides a welcoming space for persons with chronic lung diseases, family members, friends and support persons to learn about chronic lung diseases, disease management and share their lived experiences.
In Person or Virtual Meetings
Better Breathers Club members learn better ways to cope with lung conditions such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer and asthma while getting the support of others in similar situations. Better Breathers Club meetings offer a fun and stimulating combination of guest speakers, problem-solving discussions, and social activities. Led by trained facilitators, these in-person or virtual adult support groups give you the tools you need to stay active and healthy, living the best quality of life you can.
