About me:
As the local lung health leader, Breathe California of the Bay Area fights lung disease in all its forms and works with its communities to promote lung health. Since 1911, our local non-profit agency has carried out this mission through a host of critical programs and services. Starting as the Tuberculosis Society and working under three other names, including most recently (1970-2005) the American Lung Association of Santa Clara-San Benito Counties, our dedication has always been to work in partnership with local communities to improve the quality of life enjoyed throughout the valley.We believe the most significant impact on people's lives takes place through local interaction. Our key roles have been to establish tobacco-free communities, achieve healthy air quality and fight lung diseases such as asthma and tuberculosis. Prevention is our priority. Through education, political advocacy, cutting-edge research and patient services, we use a comprehensive approach to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce the impact of lung disease. As a completely independent agency, we can use innovative approaches and rapidly respond to address local lung health needs.
Generous contributions from individuals, as well as gifts and grants from corporations, foundations and government agencies allow us to lead the fight against the 3rd leading killer in America: lung disease. We partner with a host of local organizations to reach every one of our diverse communities. With a committed core of volunteers and staff who hold hope, determination, action and vigilance as the cornerstones to creating change, we will continue our drive to ensure we can all breathe easier.
