We support people affected by lung conditions.

When you find out you or someone close to you has a lung condition, the first thing you want is information. We have all the facts both online and on the phone.

Our certified respiratory educators answer calls on our Lung Health Information line and are dedicated to answering your questions. Call our helpline to ask questions or simply to talk to someone who cares. Call us at 1-866-717-2673 (in Canada only) or you can email us.

Several of our provincial Lung Associations offer support groups for those affected by lung disease and find out more about conditions. Contact your local Lung Association for find what programs and services they offer.

We fund vital research so that new treatments and cures can help save lives.

Excellent research is key to finding new treatments for lung disease – saving and prolonging lives. We invest more than $1 million in 2013-14 in research projects to better understand and fight lung disease.

We promote greater understanding of lung disease and we advocate for positive change in lung health.

Lung disease is the third biggest killer in the Canada. We make sure people know what puts them at risk and can take action to protect themselves and their families from lung disease.

We also work with decision-makers in all levels of government, so every person with lung disease in the Canada gets the treatment and care they deserve. We campaign for improvements in all areas of lung health.
