Lung HelpLine Video

May 17th, 2008

phone-service.jpgHi Everyone,

Over the past few months we have been sending out newsletters from the Lung HelpLine. Thank you to all who have given us such great feedback and positive responses!

In response to what we have heard from across the country, I wanted to send you a video that highlights the Lung HelpLine. This is an excellent overview of the Lung HelpLine and the wonderful work provided by the HelpLine team.

We have had great success in placing the video on our state websites within the ALA of the Upper Midwest, demonstrated by positive feedback and an increase in medical calls on questions regarding lung health, air quality and tobacco cessation, among others. I would ask and encourage all of you to place the video on your local websites to highlight the valuable resources that the medical team at the Lung HelpLine can provide to callers.

In addition, the video should prove to be an excellent marketing piece for all of you across the country, especially those in development.

Please let me know what you think and feel free to utilize it in presentations as you need. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a call-my number is below.

Have a great day!

Lungs in Motion was a huge success.  Despite the weather, we had lots of fun.  We started out with a motivational speech. Then we went right into the main event. The walk.  It was a 5k walk with amazing environmental surroundings.  After the walk Living Proof played a spectacular performance.  There were several activities and vendors there.  Now, we would like to hear from your experiences and or questions.
