Lungs at Work Announces New CEO

McMurray, PA: Lungs at Work is proud to announce James (Jim) E. Wood Jr. as Chief Executive Officer. An experienced business leader, Jim will succeed Lynda Glagola who has announced her retirement effective December 31, 2023, after 21 years of service.

“As the founder of Lungs at Work, Lynda has been the heart and soul of the organization. Her vision and work ethic have built one of the most successful Black Lung Clinics in the United States. Under Lynda’s leadership, the organization has served thousands of coal miners and their surviving spouses while assisting and securing federal black lung…

Welcome

Founded in 2002 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, Lungs at Work is the only free-standing Black Lung Clinic in the United States. Lungs at Work, located in McMurray, Pennsylvania, serves the coal mine-dense region of Western-Pennsylvania where nearly every county in this region has active or closed mines. We provide medical services, outreach and education, medical and benefit counseling, research, and lay advocacy to active, retired, disabled, and former coal miners and other individuals with occupational lung disease.

The staff at Lungs at Work also assist miners and their families with claims for Federal Black Lung disability benefits. All benefit work done on behalf of the miner is done at no charge. This includes assistance in filling out the application forms for Federal Black Lung disability benefits and the mounds of paperwork that can accompany a claim. We also assist claimants in gathering, developing, and submitting the evidence necessary for their claim. We will even represent claimants if their case goes to court. We only ask that the claimant pay for the costs associated with developing the medical evidence. We want to see miners and their families receive the benefits for which they qualify.

Please contact us with any questions you have about your breathing problems or Black Lung claim.  We are here to help.
