We’re grateful to see Actress and advocate Laura Dern using her voice to raise awareness for Pulmonary Fibrosis and ILD - together, we can shine a brighter light on these important lung health issues. 💙💚

Actress and advocate Laura Dern announces her commitment to raising awareness for PF & ILD 💙💚

For Laura, it's personal. She lost her mother, legendary actress Diane Ladd, to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

We're looking forward to Laura and Boehringer Ingelheim's "Beyond the Scars" campaign bringing more awareness and advocacy for everyone impacted with PF and ILD.

🔬 Did You Know?
Clinical trials are the backbone of medical breakthroughs - But how do they work?

👉 Clinical trials test how safe and effective a new treatment is, often comparing it to the current standard of care.
👉 Participants are volunteers who help researchers learn what works and what doesn’t.
👉 Every approved treatment today started in a clinical trial.

💙 Why does it matter?
By joining a clinical trial, you’re not just getting access to cutting-edge care; you’re helping shape the future of lung disease treatment for everyone.
