Review for Breathe California of the Bay Area, San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Breathe California is the leading private agency supporting lung health in our local community. Responding to local needs the agency serves more than 100,000 people annually, many of whom have few other health care alternatives. I am proud to serve on the Board of this local organization where actions have a direct, immediate, effect in our community. Jerry Denny, Chair Elect Breathe California Board

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Providing direct services to people in the community at health fairs and programs such as our asthma camp for kids. School "smoking cessation" programs.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Expand our community outreach and service area. Support more lung health research and education.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Sharing a sense of purpose and commitment with a group of dedicated people.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Talented, Enthusiastic, and Dedicated

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Increase our level and area of service, expanding our programs to reach a more people. Also increase our lung health research funding.

Ways to make it better...

If our funding had been more secure!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Maintaining our financial support in these trying economic times.

One thing I'd also say is that...

We have a great group of experienced people who are dedicated to improve the lung health in our community.
