| American Thoracic Society Hosts chILD Week! |
| Please join the ATS and the chILD Foundation in recognizing this week, June 26 - July 2, 2011 as “Interstitial Lung Disease Week at the ATS” with a focus on childhood interstitial and diffuse lung diseases.
ILD Week at the ATS is focused on the various rare childhood lung diseases including inherited surfactant protein defects, neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy, pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis, bronchiolitis obliterans, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, alveolar capillary dysplasia and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
A centerpiece of the week’s activities is a live webinar entitled “Children with Persistent Diffuse and Interstitial Lung Disease: New Thinking and Care Models” to be presented by Robin Deterding, MD. The webinar will be held this coming Thursday, June 30th @ 3:00 pm ET. For more information on “ILD Week” or to register for the upcoming webinar visit the ATS website at: http://patients.thoracic.org/lung-disease-week/interstitial-week/index.php

Welcome to the chILD Foundation! We will be launching a brand new web-site in July 2011!! Please keep checking back to see what is new.
The Mission of this non-for-profit organization is to provide support, education and hope to families affected with a pediatric interstitial lung disease and to advocate and raise funds for scientific research.
Please register with the chILD Foundation if your child has interstitial lung disease. You can register even if your child is still in the diagnostic stages.
