Southeast Georgia Health System's Better Breathers Club August Meeting Focuses on Smoking Cessation

Southeast Georgia Health System, in partnership with the American Lung Association of Georgia, will host its monthly Better Breathers Club meeting on Thursday, Aug. 18, 4-5 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Health System’s Cardiac Rehabilitation education room and will focus on smoking cessation.

The Better Breathers Club is a support group for patients with chronic lung conditions, including COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. Led by a trained facilitator, the goal of the group is to improve club members’ quality of life by providing disease-specific education and emotional connection. This may prevent the need for additional medical care, thereby reducing the health, economic and social burden of lung disease. Caregivers are also welcome to attend meetings.

To learn more about the Better Breathers Club or sign up for the free meeting, contact at 912-466-1100.
