Who We Are

Texas Pulmonary Foundation was founded with a clear purpose: to provide meaningful, sustained support for individuals affected by pulmonary disease, and to begin building the institutional infrastructure that the pulmonary field needs to improve outcomes over time.

We recognized early that the field required more than reactive assistance. It required an organization willing to look ahead and invest in access work, patient navigation, and eventually translational research that bridges clinical knowledge with real-world application.

In 2026, we took a significant step forward with the establishment of the Institute for Cardiopulmonary Mobility — a translational research initiative operating under the TPF umbrella and focused on the intersection of movement science, autonomic function, and pulmonary rehabilitation. The Institute reflects our belief that better outcomes require more than clinical delivery; they require the kind of structured inquiry that connects what we know in the clinic to what we can prove and scale.

Our organizational story is still being written. We are a growing institution with serious ambitions and a practical, patient-first approach. We are honest about our current scale while committed to the long-term vision that drives our work.
