Lung Disease
Lung disease is a group of diseases that affect the airway (tubes that carry oxygen and other gases into and out of the lungs), the tissue's structure, and the lung's blood vessels. Lung disease can affect the ability to breathe, and pulmonary function.
This page contains resources for caregivers of people with lung disease.
