The American Lung Association is the only nonprofit charitable health organization dedicated solely to lung health issues. Now in our 90^th year, we are Kentucky's oldest voluntary nonprofit health organization. In first bringing together lay volunteers and medical professionals to fight tuberculosis, we helped lay the foundation for Kentucky's nonprofit public health system that continues to fight everything from AIDS to zinc deficiency.

Naturally, we are proud of our success in battling TB. However, our efforts are more important today than ever before.

Here in Kentucky, we have identified asthma and tobacco control as two priority program areas. Statewide, the basic strategies we utilize to address these priorities are education, advocacy and medical research.

We appreciate your visit to our web site and hope you find it useful. We hope, too, you will consider supporting our work by joining our statewide volunteer corps, by becoming a lung health advocate, by making a tax-deductible donation... or by doing all three!
