Lungs for Life

The American Lung Association Lungs for Life program is designed to educate and motivate Respiratory Care Practitioners and their patients to adopt healthy living practices relevant to optimal lung health. The program is significant to Respiratory Care Practitioners because they have consistent interaction with respiratory patients and their families during the hospital stay.

The program focuses on these key components:

• Train respiratory care practitioners in basic tobacco intervention skills
• Promote tobacco cessation services and programs
• Provide education sessions with special focus on populations most likely to suffer from tobacco-related health disparities
• Coordinate a system setup for proactive referrals through the Arizona Smoker’s Helpline

Lungs for Life benefits include:

• Documentation in accordance with JACHO
• CEU’s for practitioners
• New learning skills
• Partnership with outside resources to better serve patients
• Satisfied customers
