Lungs at Work

Lungs at Work Miners' Independent Source for Black Lung Assistance We provide comprehensive medical evaluations to identify and track black lung disease. We are here to help.

Since 2002, Lungs at Work has been dedicated to helping coal miners and their families protect their health, understand their rights, and secure the benefits they’ve earned. Founded by respiratory therapist Lynda Glagola, the organization was created to meet the unique medical and legal needs of miners affected by black lung and other respiratory diseases. What began as a small effort to provide specialized care has grown into a trusted, independent resource serving thousands of miners across Pennsylvania and beyond. Our legal services include benefits counseling and representation, guiding miners through the Federal Black Lung Benefits Program with honesty, clarity, and experience. All of our services are designed to meet strict medical and legal standards and are provided at little or no cost to miners and their families. As miners’ independent source for black lung assistance, Lungs at Work stands beside miners at every stage - from their first screening to their final claim decision. We combine medical expertise, legal advocacy, and compassionate support to ensure that every miner has the information, care, and representation they deserve. Please contact us with any questions you have about your breathing problems or black lung claim.
