Pictured above are two tanks of supplemental oxygen — the one on the top is compressed oxygen and on the bottom is liquid oxygen. Each tank has the same amount. Which would you want to carry around all day?
For people like Sarah who rely on supplemental oxygen to live, access to liquid oxygen has been a game changer. It’s the difference between being homebound or living an active life. But access to liquid oxygen isn’t guaranteed.
That’s why, as the nation’s leading authority on lung health, we have boots on the ground in Washington D.C., helping people like Sarah share their stories to build support for policies that protect access to essential lung healthcare, like liquid oxygen.
“If you are an able-bodied person who can breathe on your own, you have absolutely no idea the fear and anxiety that comes with tampering with such a delicate system. It can be completely debilitating not knowing whether you are going to get your oxygen or not.”

Help support laws that prioritize lung health
Advocating for policies that make living with lung disease easier and more affordable, and raising public awareness about the challenges faced by people living with lung disease, are fundamental to our work. This mission would not be possible without generous donor support. Today, you can provide that support with double the impact when you make a 2X-matched gift.
