The FACES Foundation
Family And Caregiver Education & Support

To benefit patients, families and caregivers dealing with diseases of the lungs.
The work of The FACES Foundation continues to support its mission to acknowledge
and promote professional excellence in the education and care of patients with lung
diseases.
FACES reflects, acknowledges, and advocates for the many “faces” of those living
with life threatening pulmonary diseases: the patients; their support network of close family
and friends; and those unsung heroes in the respiratory profession, who understand that
each breath matters. In 2006, The FACES Foundation was established in memory of
Philip. C. Lamka who passed away from an interstitial lung disease.
The FACES Foundation
is a 501(c)(3)
organization.
