DRIVE4COPD is the nation’s single largest awareness campaign for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the nation’s fourth leading cause of death. Launched in February 2010 by Founding Sponsor Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., this landmark public health initiative is working to help people recognize the signs and symptoms of COPD, take action to see if they may be at risk and talk to their healthcare professional. DRIVE4COPD has been embraced by leading health, business, entertainment, and sports organizations with a common goal of driving fundamental change in COPD awareness in the United States.

BREATHE LA will work with DRIVE4COPD on Los Angeles regional awareness events. For more information about DRIVE4COPD, please click here.
