The Breathe Smart! Program
"I called the lung health line on a Tuesday afternoon and spoke to a respiratory therapist for 45 minutes — completely free. I left feeling like I had a plan."
A lung transplant.
A lifetime together.
When Wanda’s husband Martyn needed a lung transplant, Alberta Lung was there with the support, education, and compassion they needed to get through the hardest days.
