American Thoracic Society 2010 International Conference
Correction
In the American Thoracic Society 2010 Internal Conference Meeting Report, published in the July issue of the Journal, we unfortunately confused the goals of the Drive4COPD campaign with the goals of the “Year of the Lung” campaign. Launched in February 2010, Drive4COPD (www.drive4copd.com) is a multi-year public health initiative to screen the millions of people who may be at risk for COPD. This initiative aims to help millions of people affected by COPD by focusing national attention on this common disease. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the founding sponsor of the campaign, has joined forces with a cross-section of organizations on Drive4COPD to bring COPD to the forefront, including the American Lung Association, COPD Foundation, and NASCAR. While the Drive4COPD campaign was present at this year’s ATS conference in May and its launch is coincident with the “Year of the Lung” campaign, it was as a participant, not an official campaign partner.
