Better Breathers
Better Breathers offers a support group to those with respiratory disease and their families. Better Breathers is a social gathering of people interested in understanding and living with chronic lung disease on a daily basis. Meetings are free, enlightening and fun. Area professionals speak on topics related to lung disease (medications, treatments, therapies, etc.).
Better Breathers allows participants to share experiences, learn about management of their diseases, products and medical facts and issues that affect their quality of life.
