Who We Are

At Lungs at Work, we stand beside coal miners and their families, helping them understand their lung health, navigate the black lung benefits process, and get the support they’ve earned.

We are more than a clinic. We are navigators, guiding miners through every step of the journey from screening and testing to diagnosis, benefits counseling, and legal representation. Our integrated approach means miners receive consistent, coordinated support from one trusted source.

As black lung experts, our team brings decades of experience in respiratory care, federal black lung benefits process, and miner advocacy. We stay up to date with national research, education, and policy changes to ensure every miner receives accurate information and strong representation.

Black lung disease is on the rise, affecting miners at younger ages and in more severe forms than in decades past. Caused by long-term exposure to coal and silica dust, the disease is progressive and incurable, but early detection and access to care can make a lasting difference. That’s why we provide independent testing and advocacy, empowering miners to take control of their health and future.

Lungs at Work is proud to be miners’ independent source for black lung assistance, offering trusted medical evaluations, benefits counseling, and legal support - all under one roof.

Together, we’re helping miners and their families breathe easier, fight harder, and get the benefits they deserve.
