Who We Are More than 120,000 deaths from COPD occur annually in the United States alone, making this the fourth largest leading cause of mortality and the most rapidly growing lethal problem faced by our population. COPD costs the United States over 30 billion dollars per year in medical costs, hospitalization and physician office visits. These costs continue to escalate as the number of cases continues its dramatic increase. |
