World COPD Day is only a few weeks away! This year's theme aims to emphasize that although COPD is a common, preventable, and treatable disease, extensive under- and misdiagnosis leads to patients receiving treatment later in the disease course. The realization that environmental factors other than tobacco smoking can contribute to COPD, that it can start early in life and affect young individuals, and that there are precursor conditions (pre-COPD, PRISm), opens new windows of opportunity for its prevention, early diagnosis, and prompt and appropriate treatment.

Did you know that people living with chronic lung diseases are at higher risk from vaccine-preventable diseases?
If you have a lung condition, talk to your healthcare provider about the right vaccines for you.

🧑🤝🧑 Caregivers need support too
13.4 million Canadians (42%) provide unpaid care to ageing parents, partners, relatives and neighbours, but the number of unpaid caregivers available to provide support is expected to decline significantly in the coming decades.
Community-based seniors services help reduce caregiver burnout and better support ageing at home and in the community through respite care, adult day programs, dementia supports and navigation services.
