What makes us unique?
In 1935, Murray Kornfeld’s vision of patients and clinicians working
together to advance global lung health inspired the founding of
the American College of Chest Physicians. Celebrating more than
20 years as the charitable foundation of the American College of
Chest Physicians, the CHEST Foundation embraces that same vision.
Through CHEST Foundation-supported programs, CHEST’s 19,000+
members engage in clinical research, participate in community
service, and deliver patient education, advancing the lung health
of millions of patients in local communities around the world.
