Jane Jackman is a Springfield resident with years of experience working in the medical field as a physician. She spoke to Community Voices about her diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is a disease that causes scarring of the lungs making it increasingly difficult for patients to breath as the disease progresses. Fortunately Jackman received a much-needed lung transplant, and now she speaks on the need for more research and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.
