Mission Statement
Breath Savers is committed to providing education, support and social activities for individuals who have lung disease.
Leadership
The supervisor of Pulmonary Rehabiliation is the Breath Savers advisor. The club's organization also includes an Executive Board, commitee members and many dedicated volunteers.
Out and About
Besides monthly meetings, the club plans several trips throughout the year to encourage our members to get out of the house and enjoy life. Some of these outings have included Laughlin, Nev., a harbor cruise in San Pedro, concerts, picnics, ice cream socials and bingo parties. Ath the end of each year we have a holiday gift exchange and musical entertainment program.
Stay in Touch
Breath Savers volunteers create a free monthly newsletter called Our Daily Breath. The publication contains informative articles on lung disease, diet, exercise, breathing medications, club activities and uplifting thoughts and humor.
