What is the Better Breathers Program?
It is a program for those with chronic respiratory diseases like bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma. Sponsored by the American Lung Association, BBP combines education with social opportunities designed to create a better understanding of chronic respiratory disease and how to live with it. The program features education through films, literature, and demonstrations, as well as lectures by doctors and other health care professionals specializing in lung disease. You can find out about these programs by contacting your local chapter of the American Lung Association (see their listing in the your local telephone book) or by going to the ALA’s Web site.
