About Us
| Mission Statement The mission of the American Lung Association is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. |
The American Lung Association in Colorado offers practical help to people living with asthma, emphysema and other lung diseases. We also confront lung disease at the root level, educating kids about the dangers of smoking, pushing for more smoke-free workplaces and even working to reduce air pollution.

We provide RTD Eco Passes and monetary reimbursement for employees who use alternative transportation. In 2007, these smart commuter policies reduced transportation-related carbon emissions from our staff by at least 6,075 pounds!!! This is more than 3 TONS of carbon pollution that WASN’T released into the atmosphere! |

Our building is powered with wind energy credits from Renewable Choice Energy. |
