In October 2022, RHA participated in a national webinar, “Caregiving and COPD: A webinar from NHLBI’s Learn More Breathe Better® Program.” RHA joined the National Institute on Aging and NHLBI to discuss the importance of caregivers for people living with chronic diseases like COPD. Over 70% of patients living with COPD are supported by informal family caregivers. RHA created the COPD Caregiver’s Toolkit to support caregivers in their caregiving journey.
