Gather & Grow
Looking to connect, learn, or simply spend time with others who care about lung health? Our virtual events — from educational webinars and lunch & learns to social gatherings and support groups — offer a welcoming space to share experiences, gain knowledge, and build community. Whether you’re living with a lung condition, supporting someone who is, or simply want to learn more, there’s a place for you here.

Lung Health Education & Support Group
Join us for our monthly education and support group, held the first Thursday of every month at 11:00 a.m. ET on Zoom. These informal, drop-in sessions are a chance to connect with our Certified Respiratory Educators (CREs) at the Lung Health Foundation and hear from guest speakers on a wide range of topics, from managing your lung health to everyday wellness. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet others living with lung conditions and gain peer support in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Bring your questions and your curiosity!

Virtual Coffee Chats
Grab a coffee and join us for our Virtual Coffee Chats — a relaxed space to connect, bond, and build relationships with others in the lung health community. Held every other month on the second Tuesday (starting February 2025), these casual Zoom gatherings are all about conversation and companionship. Whether you’re living with a lung condition or supporting someone who is, you’re welcome to drop in, share, and enjoy some friendly company.

Webinar Series
Expand your knowledge and breathe easier with Airwaves, our expert-led webinar series focused on all things lung health. Running through March 2026, these sessions dive into a variety of topics. Delivered by trusted healthcare professionals and subject matter experts, each webinar is designed to empower you with practical insights and up-to-date information. Registration is required, and all are welcome whether you’re living with a lung condition, caring for someone who is, or simply eager to learn more.
