BC Lung Association
Lung disease is one of the fastest growing causes of hospitalization, disability and death in Canada today. Every year lung disease changes, cripples and ends lives at an increasing rate, yet it remains one of the least funded areas in medical research. A non-profit, non-governmental organization, the BC Lung Association is dedicated to improving lung health and promoting clean air initiatives across the province. Through public awareness campaigns, the BC Lung Association acts as an educational resource for the general public as well as those living with respiratory conditions. The BC Lung Association also specializes in patient support programs, community services and advanced medical research.
