COPD Digest
COPD Digest, the first free, internationally-distributed magazine on COPD, currently has a circulation of 170,000 individuals. Being one of the first programs created alongside the Foundation’s establishment, the COPD Digest’s purpose is to disseminate up-to-date information on research, latest therapies, legislative issues, and other useful information for individuals with COPD worldwide. The Digest was and is filling in a knowledge gap about COPD management that exists in both the patient and physician population.
