Our Mission:To save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.

Mission Goals:

  • Eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related lung disease.
  • Improve the air we breathe so it will not cause or worsen lung disease.

From a governance and oversight perspective, the Lung Association's board convenes regularly in order to monitor progress toward achieving these goals. A performance based management system enables the organization to track and report on progress toward not only meeting its longer-term goals but also shorter-term objectives related to fulfilling the mission of the organization.
