The mission of the American Lung Association in New York is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
We have many programs and strategies for fighting lung disease. Among these are:
The American Lung Association also offers Multicultural programs and Communication programs. The population demographics of the United States reflect significant increases in the numbers and percentages of what we currently describe as “minority groups.” In many instances, these populations suffer disproportionately from lung disease. The American Lung Association, through its policies and mission-driven activities, is moving to address these changes.
The American Lung Association also informs and educates the public about the impact and prevention of lung disease in a variety of ways. This information is disseminated through many channels, including this web site, public service announcements, news releases, and conferences and spokespersons who can address lung disease issues via print, broadcast, and electronic media.
