American Lung Association
The American Lung Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving lung health and preventing lung disease. Founded in 1904, it focuses on education, research, and advocacy to promote clean air and healthy lungs for all Americans. The organization provides resources for individuals affected by lung conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
In addition to supporting patients, the American Lung Association works to influence public policy related to air quality and tobacco control. They conduct campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and the importance of lung health, aiming to reduce the incidence of lung diseases across the nation.
