About Us
Healthy Lungs California is an initiative run by the California Lung Cancer Coalition, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization led by doctors, researchers, and community advocates in California working together to save lives through early detection.
We partner with neighborhoods across the state to share information, host local events, and connect people to trusted lung cancer screening resources. Our mission is simple: make lung cancer screening easier, more accessible, and more equitable for everyone.
Our organization website is under construction, but soon you will be able to find more information about us and our mission at clcc.us.org.
Thanks for visiting, and feel free to reach out to clcc@healthylungsca.org if you'd like more information on partnering, donating, or becoming an advocate.
Strategic Planning
The Coalition at Work
Our partners come together to map the road ahead — organizing around convening, innovation and research, screening education and outreach, and policy. The work captured on this board is what shapes each new phase of Healthy Lungs California.
