| The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) is pleased to invite members of local asthma coalitions to attend The Sixth Annual ACCP Community Asthma and COPD Coalition Symposium, October 27-28, 2004, in Seattle, Washington, during CHEST 2004. This year the symposium is expanded to include COPD coalitions. The focus will be on organizing, sustaining, strengthening, marketing, and securing funding for community coalitions. Presentations will involve talks on asthma in rural populations, in schools, and in the elderly. Networking discussion groups feature experts from an array of coalition models including those that serve rural populations and address COPD issues. David Evans, PhD, a pioneer in effective methods for teaching patients and health care professionals about asthma, will wrap up this year’s symposium with a workshop on “Quality Improvement in the Pediatric Asthma Clinic.” For more information and to register please contact Joyce Bruno, MIPH at jbruno@chestnet.org. |
