Support Groups
You are invited to join a Better Breather Club, a support group for people with respiratory disease and their families. The American Lung Association in Washington co-sponsors these groups.
These resources are intended for Washington state residents. However, no matter where you live in the United States, you can obtain information in your area by calling your local American Lung Association® at 1-800-LUNG-USA.
