The CHEST Foundation collaborated with The Atlantic, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Dyson to host “The Air We Breathe: An Atlantic Summit”, which featured several panels of experts discussing topics ranging from lung cancer and asthma, to the challenges architects and the city face with new buildings and proper ventilation.
The summit, which focused on discussing the quality of our air and the implications on our health, took place on Thursday, April 20, at VenueSIX10 in Chicago. This summit is a new format for the CHEST Foundation that proved to be effective at supporting our mission to champion lung health among a large audience.
The expert team of panelists, who discussed “Disruption in Asthma Care,” included:
- Joel Africk, President and Chief Executive Officer, Respiratory Health Association
- Rudy Anderson, CAE, Associate Executive Director, CHEST Foundation
- Jay Peters, MD, FCCP, Chief, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio; Trustee, CHEST Foundation
