Lung Disease Week at the ATS 2019

Throughout 2019, the ATS Public Advisory Roundtable (PAR) is hosting its ninth annual "Lung Disease Week at the ATS" series, a society-wide initiative that recognizes the many rare lung disorders for which ATS PAR member organizations provide support and guidance to patients and their families.
