New Patient & Caregiver Network benefit to improve mental and physical health for people living with lung disease

新的患者和护理人员网络有助于改善肺部疾病患者的身心健康

CHICAGO, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 34 million people in the U.S. live with a lung disease, and many lung diseases are life-long journeys. To improve the lives of people living with lung disease through movement, mindfulness and valuable educational resources, today, the American Lung Association's Patient & Caregiver Network launched a new benefit, the Wellness Hub.

芝加哥，2024年6月25日，美国有3400多万人患有肺部疾病，许多肺部疾病都是终生的旅行。为了通过运动、正念和宝贵的教育资源改善肺部疾病患者的生活，今天，美国肺部协会的患者和护理人员网络推出了一项新的福利，即健康中心。

Joining the Patient & Caregiver Network and access to the new Wellness Hub is free and open to all..

加入患者和护理人员网络并访问新的健康中心是免费的，对所有人开放。。

The Patient & Caregiver Network Wellness Hub is a new benefit that provides members with access to videos and articles to help improve mental and physical health like breathing exercises, meditation videos, recipes and more. All resources are specifically designed to help people living with lung disease.

患者和护理人员网络健康中心是一项新的福利，为会员提供视频和文章的访问，以帮助改善身心健康，如呼吸练习、冥想视频、食谱等。所有资源都是专门为帮助肺部疾病患者而设计的。

The goal of the Wellness Hub is to improve everyday lives of people living with lung disease..

健康中心的目标是改善肺部疾病患者的日常生活。。

'Many lung diseases like COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and asthma have no cure, so a person will be living with the disease for their entire life. A diagnosis can be scary and lung diseases are often very isolating, which is why communities like the Wellness Hub are critical to improve the lives of people living with these diseases and their families,' said Harold Wimmer, President and CEO of the American Lung Association..

“许多肺部疾病，如COPD、肺纤维化和哮喘，都无法治愈，因此一个人一生都会患有这种疾病。美国肺病协会主席兼首席执行官哈罗德·维默（HaroldWimmer）说，诊断可能很可怕，肺部疾病通常非常孤立，这就是为什么像健康中心这样的社区对于改善患有这些疾病的人及其家人的生活至关重要。。

'My hope is that people will feel like these practices were truly made for them and that they gain a series of trusted tools for support each day,' said Jenna Zaffino, long-time wellness coach and the Patient & Caregiver Network's signature expert. 'Our goal is to offer content that helps them feel like they're building toward something that supports the quality of their lives, whether that's physical strength, an expanded mindset or creating a consistent breathwork practice.'.

我们的目标是提供内容，帮助他们感觉自己正在朝着支持生活质量的方向发展，无论是体力，扩展的心态还是创造一致的呼吸练习。”。
