Breathe Pennsylvania

Breathe Pennsylvania, headquartered in Cranberry Township, Pa., is a non-profit organization (501(c)(3).

Breathe Pennsylvania's mission is to empower western Pennsylvanians to breathe better and live healthier through education and awareness of lung health in our community.

For the last century, Breathe Pennsylvania has been a pioneer in the fight against lung disease. In 1905, the Pittsburgh Sanatorium, known as the “House on the Hill,” was opened by the organization in what is now the Hill District. The hospital provided local tuberculosis patients with the only known remedy for the disease at the time – rest and fresh air.

Throughout its rich history, Breathe Pennsylvania has been a leader in providing people with the tools and knowledge to become advocates for their own lung health by continually expanding programs and services to educate the community on chronic lung diseases, including tuberculosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and asthma. Breathe Pennsylvania also provides smoking cessation services and resources for individuals and businesses alike.
