The U.S. COPD Coalition at Work

The members of the U.S. COPD Coalition benefit from the Coalition’s relationship as a primary liaison to the Congressional COPD Caucus. They are able to present their advocacy voices to the Caucus in a unified and efficient manner.

Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), is the founding member and current Senate co-chair of the Congressional COPD Caucus. He is joined by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Representatives John Lewis (D-Georgia) and David Joyce (R-Ohio). 

The members of the Congressional Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Caucus share the goal of promoting awareness of COPD, the third leading cause of death in the United States. The Congressional COPD Caucus seeks to improve the lives of patients affected with COPD by fostering research, ensuring access to care, promoting early detection and diagnosis, and prevention.
