May 2017

Join your colleagues on Capitol Hill for an ATS Rally: Lab Coats for Lungs! On Tuesday, May 23 the American Thoracic Society will hold a rally at the US Capitol to show our support for policies that improve respiratory health and to voice our concerns with recent policy proposals that jeopardize research, patient health and the environment. The ATS encourages all attendees to the ATS 2017 International Conference to join the Society's leadership at this event. Participants are encouraged to wear their lab coat at the rally to provide a visual statement of support from the medical and scientific community.
