In order to further our mission, we reach out to our neighbors at special events throughout the year. Whether it’s presenting educational workshops, organizing community forums, tabling at health fairs, doing free lung health screenings, or teaching groups about effective advocacy, we always aim to directly involve those that we serve in our own efforts to serve them. Here are some local events that will take place soon:
