How We Help
TPF operates across four interconnected program areas, addressing immediate patient need while investing in long-term systemic change.
Patient Assistance
Pulmonary rehabilitation services for those who cannot afford them.
TPF provides pulmonary rehabilitation services for patients who cannot afford them, covering a set number of visits so that cost is not a barrier to clinically meaningful care.
Why It Matters
Pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the most effective interventions for chronic lung disease, yet cost and access barriers prevent many patients from ever receiving it.
Who It Serves
Individuals in Texas living with pulmonary disease who cannot afford pulmonary rehabilitation services.
Access to Care
Connecting patients to the care and resources they need.
TPF works to reduce systemic barriers that prevent pulmonary patients from accessing appropriate care. This includes navigation support, referral assistance, and coordination with healthcare providers and community resources.
Why It Matters
Access gaps in pulmonary care are well-documented. Many patients, particularly in underserved communities, lack the resources, information, or connections to reach appropriate treatment.
Who It Serves
Pulmonary patients who lack access to specialists, treatment resources, or coordinated care support.
Education & Advocacy
Raising awareness and advancing systemic change.
TPF supports patient education, public awareness of pulmonary disease burden, and advocacy for policies that improve outcomes for those living with chronic respiratory conditions.
Why It Matters
Greater awareness leads to earlier diagnosis, better self-management, and stronger community and policy support for patients.
Who It Serves
Patients, caregivers, clinicians, and community members seeking education or systemic improvement in pulmonary care.
Research & Innovation
Building the infrastructure for better outcomes tomorrow.
TPF is developing a translational research and innovation initiative focused on cardiopulmonary mobility, rehabilitation technology, and future clinical validation pathways. This represents the long-term infrastructure investment the pulmonary field needs.
Why It Matters
Innovation in pulmonary rehabilitation, particularly around mobility support and functional recovery, has been underfunded and underbuilt. TPF aims to help change that.
Who It Serves
Future patients, clinicians, and researchers who will benefit from validated mobility and rehabilitation technologies.
