I was not able to find any specific ARDS support groups within the Oregon area, but there are plenty of websites that offer information to support your process. Although they are not specific clubs for ARDS, the American Lung Association has a "Better Breathers Club" support group in various locations.

Remember to consult with your primary doctor about questions or concerns. They may also help direct you to a local support group within your area.
