The Lung Institute was founded to improve the quality of life for those suffering from chronic lung disease. For patients who have been diagnosed with a respiratory illness such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, or interstitial lung disease, quality of life can be dramatically impaired, both physically and mentally. When suffering from a chronic lung disease, tasks as simple as walking to the mailbox, taking a shower or cooking dinner can become extremely difficult, challenging the idea of a normal life.

Until now, traditional treatment options commonly came with negative side effects, aiming only to relieve symptoms, rather than address the progression of the disease itself. Seeing a lack of available and effective treatment options, the Lung Institute has developed a Stem Cell Therapy protocol for the treatment of lung disease with the purpose of affecting more than just its symptoms.
