Welcome to Lung Health Day 2004!
The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) created this day
to focus on lung health as part of its annual Respiratory Care Week
celebration. This year marks the second annual celebration, and this
year we're celebrating by focusing in on Lung Health for Life.
Our press information features 5 lung healthy tips for everyone, while
AARC Director of Management and Education Bill Dubbs takes a look at
the profession of respiratory therapy. We even list some great statistics
about how each state's lung health stacks up!
After you’ve read up on all of this great information, listen
in to the AARC’s Hometown Radio project, and learn
more about important tips you should be aware of for your lung health.
