Fighting for Air!

The American Lung Association is saving lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. We were founded over 115 years ago by a group of volunteers dedicated to ending the lung health threat at the time: tuberculosis. With TB largely controlled in the United States, we have extended that mission to other respiratory diseases. And thanks to our donors, volunteers, program and event participants, and staff, we are America’s trusted source for lung health education, lung disease research, support, programs, services and advocacy.

With local programs, research, education, and advocacy, Central Florida is in the fight for clean air & healthy lungs. In this presentation, you’ll learn about the American Lung Association, how Central Florida is impacted by the work of the organization, and what you can do to get us all closer to a world free of lung disease.
