In recognition of COPD Awareness we are wearing ORANGE to raise awareness and support efforts to improve lung health in our communities.
COPD is a chronic lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe and can impact daily activities. With proper management, education, and support, individuals living with COPD can maintain a better quality of life. Awareness and early detection are key to prevention and care.
🧡 We come together to:
• Raise awareness about COPD and its impact
• Encourage regular check-ups and lung function screenings
• Promote smoke-free environments and healthy breathing habits
• Support individuals and families affected by COPD
• Advocate for better access to pulmonary rehabilitation and care
