Join Us for the "Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis" Educational Events and Webcasts | Saturday, September 22, 2012

In 2007, the United States Congress supported the designation of "National Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Week" to take place each year in September. This year, as part of a full month of awareness activities, we have designated September 22nd as Global Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Day and will offer a "Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis" educational event in partnership with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Modena, Italy, and National Jewish Health, in Denver, Colorado. Sessions will include: “What is Pulmonary Fibrosis?,” "The Role of Support Groups,” and “Tools for Living Better with Pulmonary Fibrosis" and will be followed by a Q&A period.

Event Webcasts

In addition to the broadcast locations in Modena and Denver, individuals will be able to view the webcasts at interstitial lung disease (ILD) centers in Europe and the United States. Patients, caregivers, and family members will be able to come together to view the presentation in a supportive environment at a convenient location. A health care professional will be present at these sites to answer any questions viewers may have.

If you are unable to attend the ILD center viewings, anyone may view the webcasts from the comfort of their own home via the internet. Webcasts will be available at www.livingwithpulmonaryfibrosis.org.
