what is the National Lung Health Education Program ?


Who We Are —

The National Lung Health Education Program (NLHEP), was initiated in 1996 as a new healthcare initiative designed to increase awareness of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) among the public and health care professionals and to encourage the use of simple spirometry to make an early diagnosis and monitor ongoing treatment.

The NLHEP initiative is directed to primary care physicians, other healthcare clinicians, government officials, policy makers, health care agencies and especially to patients. Many societies, including governmental agencies support NLHEP, and financial support for our organization comes from a wide range of sources, including unrestricted grants from other non-profit organizations, patient advocacy groups, private donors, along with unrestricted grants from the pharmaceutical and medical support industries.
