Facing a Pulmonary Fibrosis Diagnosis? We're Here to Support You.

Receiving a pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. The Manitoba Lung Association is here to support you through our Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group. We understand the challenges you’re experiencing and are committed to offering you the care and understanding you need.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group:

Join us to share your experiences and connect with others navigating the same journey. Our meetings take place from 1:00 – 3:00 PM on the second Thursday of each month in the lower-level auditorium of Peace Lutheran Church (350 Gilmore Avenue). Patients and their families are welcome to attend as we work together to understand and support one another through all that Pulmonary Fibrosis entails. There are no meetings held in July, August and September.

Caregiver's Support Group:

For those caring for someone with pulmonary fibrosis, we offer a dedicated Caregiver’s Support Group, meeting virtually via Zoom from 7:00 – 8:00 PM on the third Thursday of each month.

This group is exclusively for caregivers, providing a safe space to share and connect. There are no meetings held in July and August.

For any questions about our Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Groups, please reach out to Debbie or Amy at [email protected].
