Victory in Congress for Pulmonary Rehab

On July 16, 2008 the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate worked together to override President Bush’s veto of the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. This piece of legislation included coverage for cardiac rehabilitation and pulmonary rehabilitation services. After President Bush vetoed HR6331, the House of Representatives overrode the veto by a vote of 383-41.  The Senate followed with an override vote of its own, 70-26.  Read more.

CELEBRATING ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF NEW NAME. 
SAME MISSION.  LONG-STANDING NEW HAMPSHIRE HISTORY.
By Daniel Fortin, President and CEO


On July 1, 2008 we celebrate the one year anniversary of changing our name from the American Lung Association of  New Hampshire to Breathe New Hampshire, thus ending our affiliation with the American Lung Association. We also adopted a new slogan  “Improving lung health since 1916.”  We believe our new slogan best explains what we stand for and what we do.  Simply put, we address the issues that affect the ability of the people in New Hampshire to breathe.  Read on.

Daniel Fortin is the President & CEO of Breathe New Hampshire. He is a native of the state with a 14-year history with the organization, having served first as a volunteer, then as a member of the Board of Directors, and currently, as President.
