On this day in 1904, the American Lung Association was founded as the first voluntary health organization in the U.S., pioneering a groundbreaking model of education, advocacy and research to save lives. Today we celebrate 120 years of milestones in lung health. From virtually ending tuberculosis in the U.S. to making domestic airline flights and public spaces smokefree, to creating resources and community for those affected by lung disease. We've saved millions of lives through funding research that led to crucial healthcare discoveries, helping people quit smoking, launching LUNG FORCE and promoting lung cancer screening, addressing lung health disparities, working to end youth vaping and so much more. We're proud of how far we've come. Join us in our journey to champion lung health and help us celebrate #120YearsofImpact! 🎉
