Support groups
The Better Breathers' Clubs of BC are support groups for those with respiratory illness in the province. They meet once every month.
Their goal is to help patients suffering with chronic lung diseases like chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma (known collectively as COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) to improve their lives through education, encouragement and fellowship.
