The American Lung Association is saving lives by improving lung health and
preventing lung disease. We were founded 120 years ago by a group of volunteers
dedicated to ending the lung health threat at the time: tuberculosis. With TB
largely controlled in the United States, we have extended that mission to other
respiratory diseases. And thanks to our donors, volunteers, program and event
participants, and staff, we are America's trusted source for lung health
education, lung disease research, support, programs, services and advocacy.


OUR STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Defeat Lung Cancer.

Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of both women and men in the United States.
We call on all everyone to raise their voices to defeat this devastating disease
and fund millions of dollars in research designed to find cures, prevent, and
relieve suffering associated with lung cancer.




Champion clean air for all.

We work to protect public health from air pollution to ensure that all people
have air that is safe and healthy to breathe. This includes promotion of
electric vehicles, addressing climate change and advancing clean air policy.




Improve the quality of life for those with lung disease and their families.

More than 34 million people in this country live with a chronic lung disease
like asthma and COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Through
our programs, services and research, we help those with lung diseases find the
help they need.




Create a tobacco-free future.

Every year, close to half a million people in the U.S. die from tobacco-caused
disease and thousands of youth start vaping. We provide education and cessation
resources and support, and we and have helped more than a million people quit
smoking.
