2025 Financials

CHEST’s financial and strategic priorities for 2025 centered on growth, innovation, and an enhanced impact through increased membership, strong attendance at the annual meeting, new educational offerings, and philanthropic engagement. CHEST achieved exceptional success in 2025, marked by outstanding operating performance and record-breaking engagement across key initiatives. This success was due in large part to CHEST 2025, the organization's largest annual meeting to date, which attracted more than 10,000 attendees.

Philanthropy also reached new heights, with many first-time donors contributing to the 90 for 90 Campaign to fund CHEST Travel Grants, reflecting widespread community support and investment in the profession's future. Additionally, CHEST launched targeted educational offerings for advanced practice providers (APPs), expanding the organization’s reach and advancing its mission to improve patient care by strengthening the entire care team.
