The Alpha 1 Association's mission is to provide support, education, research and advocacy. We must generate more income to carry out the important programs and services offered. We currently staff education booths at several physicians conferences to educate them on Alpha-1, we could do more. We currently have printed material that can help people diagnosed with Alpha-1 find the help, support and knowledge they need to make good decisions for their own health and that of their family. We could spread that material to every pulmonologist's and hepatologist's office in the country to inform patients of the Association and local support groups, if we had more funding.
