The American Lung Association is the nation's oldest voluntary health agency originally organized to fight a specific disease, that being tuberculosis. Since 1892, the American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic has been fighting lung disease through education, community service, advocacy, and research. Our mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. Contributions of time, money and event sponsorships to the ALAM-A help those who suffer with lung disease through mission driven programs and activities. 12 notebox_wide float_right 10 2008-04-07T14:53:20-04:00 57 0 about-us 1 0 2009-07-22T15:31:36-04:00
