Better Breathers Clubs

Better Breathers Clubs are welcoming support groups for patients and caregivers affected by chronic lung diseases including COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. Learn better ways to better cope with lung disease while getting the support of others in similar situations. Led by a trained facilitator, these in-person adult support groups give you the tools you need to live the best life you can.

Better Breathers Clubs meet regularly and feature educational presentations on a wide range of relevant topics, including:

• How lung disease affects the lungs
• Breathing techniques
• Exercise
• Talking with your physician
• Medications and other treatment options
• Medical tests
• Supplemental oxygen
• Home healthcare
• Lung transplants
• Air pollution

You don't have to feel alone or isolated.  It feels good to talk with others who understand—and that can have a positive impact on your health.
