Pennsylvania IPF Support Network

02/19/2026

The Pennsylvania IPF Support Network has always been built on connection, across counties, across care teams, and across shared experience.

As the network continues to grow, we are centralizing all communication, education, and programming through the Wescoe Foundation for Pulmonary Fibrosis

The Wescoe Foundation proudly operates and supports this network, and moving forward, our website and social channels will be the primary place to find:
• Statewide support group information
• Advocacy updates
• Research engagement opportunities
• Educational lectures & events
• Resources for patients, care partners, and health care professionals

By unifying under one platform, we strengthen our ability to advocate, educate, and support more effectively across Pennsylvania.

If you are part of this network, you are part of the Wescoe Foundation community.
We invite you to follow and stay connected at wescoe.org and across our official social channels for the most up-to-date information.

Our Support Groups are the beating heart of the Wescoe Foundation. 💜
Because of the generosity of those who give to our Annual Giving Campaign, we’re able to sustain 19 Support Groups across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware—and expand specialty groups that are making waves nationwide, like our Veterans & ILD Group and Women & ILD Group.
Each meeting, each shared story, each connection built—that’s what your generosity makes possible. From all of us at the Wescoe Foundation: thank you for helping us make every breath count.

Our story began with one man: Ron Wescoe.
His journey with Pulmonary Fibrosis inspired a legacy of hope, action, and vision—a community determined to lift others up. Today, his spirit lives on in every patient we support, every family we stand beside, and every conversation that reminds someone—they’re not alone.
💜 Give in Ron’s memory, and help us keep his mission breathing strong.

Earlier this month, Jen attended the PFF Summit in Chicago and had the privilege of taking an active and present role in many of the sessions. Surrounded by patients, care partners, and clinicians, every moment reminded us why we do this work. 💙

🩵 Poster Presentation with Avalyn: “Living with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Unpacking the Shared Realities of Daily Life, Emotional Burden, and Finding the Way”
📚 Patient-Engaged Research Plenary: Presented by Dr. Ilene Hollin, recognizing the Wescoe Foundation’s work in patient-engaged research
💪 Veterans & ILD Working Group Meeting: Collaboration with VA pulmonologists, patients, care partners, and clinicians
