Welcome To The Pulmonary Paper
It is our belief that when a person understands their disease process, they will be better able to cope with the symptoms and changes chronic lung disease may bring to their lives. The Pulmonary Paper is a way for people to support each other and keep up on the latest news in respiratory care treatments and products. Our newsletter is published eight times a year.
