Throughout 2021, the ATS Public Advisory Roundtable (PAR) is hosting its updated and tenth annual “Lung Disease Week at the ATS” series, a society-wide initiative that recognizes the many lung and airway disorders for which ATS PAR member organizations provide support and guidance to patients and their families. For a series of one-week periods, ATS PAR brings patient issues to the front and center of the Society’s agenda. Working with its PAR partners, the ATS develops, aggregates, and hosts links to patient-centered disease-specific content on its web site.
