Good morning everybody! Hope everybody is doing well this morning.

Last week I had an opportunity to visit a Central Florida COPD Support as a guest speaker. I was able to share what things a Respiratory Therapist would like COPD patients to know.

The Village Airheads of Central Florida reminded me of the possibilites and encouragement we can be in our communities, when we all
work together as providers, patients, and caregiver witha positive "Can Do" attitude!

I was thankful that upon return to SW Florida, a COPD patient in our community encouraged me with the need and direction to establish another support group in his area of SW Florida, not currently being served

Thanks to my new friend, we are moving forward with partnering with a local church to host a faith-based COPD Support in that part of
SW Florida.

I encourage all of us not to limit what we can do together in our own community when we allow ourselves to reach out to one another
for healthy living with our COPD journeys!

Hope you all have a great week! Thank you Jane and the BBLW Team the opportunity to share and encourage you in your community!

If I can be of service with ideas related to support groups and your communty, please feel free to contact me!

Hi Bob,

Thanks for being our support group cheerleader! Congratulations on being asked to start a new group - keep us up on the progress and also the "nuts and bolts" of what it takes. I'm sure we have some readers who could benefit from the info and support and maybe start their own groups.

Have a great weekend!

Jane.
