GROUP FOR PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC LUNG CONDITION
I host a meeting every other month for people with chronic lung conditions other than TB or cancer. It’s a very informal support and information group, free of charge, that has been ongoing for about 15 years.
We are affiliated with a national non-profit organization, NTM Info & Research (NTMir), formed on behalf of patients with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease for the purpose of patient support, medical education, and research. The organization comprises patients, physicians and other medical practitioners, and researchers.
Our group is open to all and the next meeting will be on Monday, January 23, at 1:15 p.m. at my house, 641 Warner Avenue, in Westwood.
Please feel free to contact me for more information. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting you!
