Lung Association of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island

For most of us, breathing is so natural that we dont even think about it. Too often, we take it for granted. For the 1 in 5 Nova Scotians and Islanders who struggle with lung disease, it can be their only thought. They know that when you cant breathenothing else matters. For over 100 years, our supporters have been helping the Lung Association of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island improve lung health in our two provinces. Support from donors and partners has allowed us to build and implement comprehensive programs for children with asthma and adults struggling with obstructive sleep apnea. Together, we have been supporting patients with COPD, lung cancer, and people awaiting lung transplants. We have taken a leadership role in advocating to government on lung health issues. Were at the forefront of prevention; providing awareness and programming for key lung health issues like radon, air quality, and smoking cessation. Unfortunately, we continue to have some of the highest rates of lung health disease across the country. With your help, were changing that. Together, we can make prevention and improved lung health a priority today. Lets work together to improve the quality of life for all Nova Scotians and Islanders. Lets breathe better together Our Mission The Lung Association of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island is a charitable health organization dedicated to improving quality of life by preventing and managing lung disease through advocacy, patient services, education & research.

Providing hope and support for people living with lung disease The Lung Association provides programs and services to support Nova Scotians and Islanders in managing and preventing lung disease. One in five people in our provinces are currently struggling to breathe. In order to help prevent lung disease and help people cope with their diagnosis, we provide support groups, equipment programs, lung transplant support, smoking cessation programs, and send kids with lung disease to summer camp. We also fund local respiratory research, host air quality workshops, advocate for lung health issues, create radon awareness programs, and more.
