Purpose of Learn More Breathe Better
According to their website, Learn More Breathe Better seeks to:
- Increase awareness of COPD as a serious lung disease—the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.
- Increase understanding that COPD is treatable.
- Encourage people at risk to get a simple breathing test and talk to their doctors about treatment options.
Learn More Breathe Better is directed toward men and women over age 45, especially those who smoke or have smoked, and those with risk associated with genetics or environmental exposures. In addition, the campaign aims to reach people who have been diagnosed with COPD as well as health care providers, particularly those in the primary care setting.

Famous quotes containing the words purpose of and/or purpose:
“As peace is the end of war, so to be idle is the ultimate purpose of the busy.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God’s hand, his brain as God’s brain, his purpose as God’s purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
