The American Lung Association of Arizona is proud to present Breathe Free: A COPD Collaborative, a new program that will focus on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease throughout the state. The goals of this program include:

Provide basic and advanced training to healthcare professions regarding COPD risk reduction through smoking cessation, early screening/ detection, diagnosis and treatment for COPD.
Educate the public, people living with COPD, and the healthcare community about risks for COPD.
Provide a statewide forum for individuals living with COPD, medical professionals, members of the healthcare industry and community agencies invested in the COPD issue.
Provide spirometry screening to encourage early detection of COPD.
Collect surveillance data to determine the prevalence of COPD in Arizona.
Set the foundation for integrated COPD screening and follow-up protocols throughout Arizona health systems.
