September is pulmonary fibrosis awareness month. As the month kicks off I can’t help but take time to think about the many patients and their family members I have had the privilege to work with over the last 8 years working in this specialty. #pfmonth

It is one of my favorite days - PFF Hill day. Today I get the honor of advocating for my patients by meeting with our congressional offices and asking them to support pulmonary fibrosis research and supplemental oxygen reform. #pffhillday #pulmonaryfibrosis #advocate #soaract

This Philly girl is one hundred percent a Philadelphia Eagles fan (the rest of our ILD & Sarcoid team can attest to this)…but it is pretty awesome to see that Houston Texan Tavierre Thomas will be wearing @StopSarcoidosis cleats for @nfl #MyCauseMyCleats

Dr. Katzen is sharing his research with patients this morning. What a great opportunity for patients to hear about the hard work that is going into discovering more information about pulmonary fibrosis which may lead to new ways to treat the disease #pennild #pffsummit2023 #pff

The Nurse and Allied Health session yesterday was one of the highlights of the @PFFORG summit for me. When we come together and share our knowledge and experiences our patients benefit so much. #pffsummit2023 #ild #pff

Lori Flint shares with us how to address the challenges of care in ILD. She so eloquently reminded us caring for these patients is complex but as a team we can work to improve the care and experience of our patients #pffsummit #pff #ild

Imagine an oxygen company telling you they can not give you oxygen supplies so you can leave your home…this happens to my patients. Please ask your congressional leaders to pass supplemental oxygen reform. Visit this link to send a message to Congress. a.lung.org/eoZrWsZ

Do you see patients with cough or shortness of breath? Please take a moment and check out this video - you may come across a patient with #ILD …@ThreeLakes_TLF and @accpchest want you to have the tools to recognize this rare diagnosis youtube.com/watch?v=kAmlfXi-…
Happy #RareDiseaseDay This video promotes an educational toolkit for PCPs that hopes to close the gaps to diagnosis in #ILD like pulmonary fibrosis. Please help me share it to raise awareness for these complex lung diseases: youtube.com/watch?v=kAmlfXi-…

We’ve joined 23 other patient, professional, and industry groups to demand changes for how oxygen is provided. We know that access remains a huge issue, and that’s why we’re petitioning Congress. Read our latest blog post and sign the petition: ow.ly/1z2i50N2z9f
