American Lung Association In Nebraska

We’re America’s oldest voluntary health organization, founded in 1904 as the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis? dedicated to combating tuberculosis (TB), the most dreaded disease of the time. Over a difficult 50-year fight, we played a critical role in developing and funding increasingly effective weapons to prevent, detect and treat the disease. By 1954, tuberculosis was largely controlled in the U.S. For over 100 years, the American Lung Association has led the fight for healthy lungs and healthy air. Today, our fight is more important than ever.

The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through Education, Advocacy and Research. With the generous support of the public, we are “Fighting for Air.” When you join the American Lung Association in the fight for healthy lungs and healthy air, you help save lives today and keep America healthy tomorrow.
