A word from our COPD Community Champion:
"Holy Cross Health is excited about the opening of the Catherine Yardley Comprehensive Pulmonary Center and what this means for South Florida," said Mark Doyle, president and CEO. "We look forward to providing a local, quality treatment option for residents near and far who have been searching for a comprehensive pulmonary center grounded in research, education and clinical excellence."

      Why We Need You in the Fight

      In March of 2020, the American Lung Association launched a $25 million initiative to end COVID-19 and defend against future respiratory virus pandemics. At the same time, we're continuing our advocacy work to support clean air and redoubling our long-term commitments to lifesaving research.

      Over the last 12 years, the Climbers have raised more than $65 million to support the mission of the American Lung Association.

      Join us. Because Every Step Counts and every step makes a difference.
