Have you met with your primary care physician lately? Regular checkups can help address any concerns before they become troublesome. Schedule an appointment today.

Stay hydrated this summer. #DidYouKnow that drinking enough water can help your body to produce thinner mucus, which is easier to expel from the lungs?

Happy #IndependenceDay! We hope your day is spent celebrating the things that unite us.

@IPFWarrior @KaminskiMed @PFFORG @LungAssociation @patientMpower @pfogelberg @3LakesPartners @BillS_PFF @HaroldWimmer @davidlederer Looking at this from a data mindset; there are 10 references to "American Lung Association" on @PFFORG website goo.gl/6TM6Ce ; there are 40 references on @LungAssociation website to "Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation" goo.gl/m4Uwr8

@IPFWarrior @KaminskiMed @PFFORG @LungAssociation @patientMpower @pfogelberg @3LakesPartners @BillS_PFF @HaroldWimmer @davidlederer whenever I talk to patients I send them to both sites - both have great resources, as do groups such as @IPFWarrior and groups around the world such as @ILFA_Ireland @lunguk @ActionPFcharity etc .... everyone needs to reference, link and share - more needs to be done

Today is #SwimALapDay. Swimming is an excellent way to promote cardiovascular wellness while getting a complete workout. If you're able, enjoy some water play today.

@KaminskiMed @PFFORG @LungAssociation @patientMpower @pfogelberg @3LakesPartners @eamonncostello @BillS_PFF @HaroldWimmer @davidlederer Yes, it’s really about the patients and we need one voice singing one song and that song is to find a cure for this terrible disease.
