Barbara Moore was a dedicated member of our lung health community who, through her own life experience, saw and acted on the work that needed to be done to raise awareness and increase access to life changing treatment for individuals living with lung conditions. Her efforts involved sharing her story through her blog, which detailed her journey navigating the health system, but also allowed people with lung conditions to connect with her story through the challenges and losses often faced by a person living with this kind of diagnosis. At the Lung Health Foundation, Barbara participated in multiple projects that improved program delivery, tool development, and advocacy efforts. The Lung Health Foundation honours Barbara’s passion and leadership.
“Through my involvement, I am able to give a voice to those who have been newly diagnosed with COPD, as well as those living with the disease and managing every day, like me. I’m grateful to give back and help those who are where I once was. It has been a rewarding experience to work with the Lung Health Foundation and contribute to their work.”
