CHEST Foundation Donor Spotlight December 2018 | Page 10

“I believe the foundation is
committed to listening and
serving the entire community-
patients, caregivers, researchers,
clinicians, donors, and so many
more members. I think we are
ready to take this commitment
to the next level and I want to
be there when they do—with
y
h
W
I GIVE
my time and resources.”
—Patti Tuomey, EdD
“I believe in the mission of
the foundation and strongly
feel that the research and
educational grants the
foundation has funded have
made a real difference in
advancing the science and in
patient care. The recent travel
grants that the foundation
has been giving out have
brought so many people to
CHEST that would not have
made it otherwise. It added
to their interest in the field,
the society, and the science.
I also LOVE working with
the CHEST Foundation staff;
they’re all so energized, open
to new ideas, always willing to
hear our perspective and help
out, and they celebrate when
they feel they have made a
difference. They’re in it for all
the right reasons. Go CHEST
Foundation!!”

“I think CHEST is an outstanding organization that brings a divergent
group of individuals to advance our understanding and approach to
the field of pulmonology, critical care, and sleep medicine. It is my
privilege to be able to contribute to the foundation. It is small way of
being able to give back to the field that has given me an opportunity to
help my patients, day in and day out. I look forward to continuing to
work with this amazing organization.”
