“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.
The second-best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb

There are few sensations in life that are as absolutely terrifying as not being able to breathe. In fact, most of us will do absolutely everything in our power to avoid that sensation at all cost, even at the expense of things we love, such as visiting with family and friends; going to the theater; everyday activities such as taking a shower or grocery shopping; even S-E-X.

If you are on this page, it is more than likely that you or someone you know have at one time or another, experienced the sensation of being short of breath due to respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, or both...or something completely different altogether.

Shortness of breath (SOB), also known as dyspnea (pronounced disp-nee-uh) or air hunger, can be all-encompassing and has the potential to undermine every aspect of your life, from the magnificent to the mundane. Left unchecked, shortness of breath can deliver a tremendous blow to our self-esteem, quality of life, and in some cases, our very identity.

Our Mission

The Pulmonary Wellness Foundation has always aspired to setting new standards in healthcare, where community education and lifestyle changes are the driving force behind living well despite one’s respiratory disease.

The Foundation was founded in 2014 with the objective of coupling excellence in respiratory care and pulmonary rehabilitation with educational material of the highest caliber.

Through your support of our clinical research efforts, educational offerings, and online pulmonary rehabilitation program (Bootcamp), the Foundation has touched the lives of thousands of people with a variety of prevalent, rare, and ultra-rare pulmonary diseases, delivered free of charge to patients, their caregivers, and clinicians worldwide.
