NOVEMBER IS COPD AWARENESS MONTH

Did you know that COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.? Or that it affects more than 12 million Americans? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) - which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis - is a term used to describe the obstruction of airflow. As part of their commitment to lung health, the American Lung Association has created new tools for COPD patients and partnering with others to help people with COPD live healthier, more active lives.
