"I've learned a lot of things through the BBC and BIC. It has given me the opportunity to meet with people who are in a similar situation. When I have a question, the speakers always have an answer. I think they have been excellent. I've been attending the BBC for over a year and I really enjoy it."

Better Breathers Club (BBC)

The Better Breathers Club is designed for people with chronic lung disease such as asthma, emphysema or chronic bronchitis, and their families.

This educational program provides the opportunity to learn more about your lung disease through a variety of speakers that can help you breathe easier and improve the quality of your life. This supportive environment offers the chance to share ideas and concerns. Meetings are held once a month in San Jose and Palo Alto. We also offer quarterly meetings in Gilroy. The meetings are free and new members are always welcome.
