ATS is developing a new website and only press releases from 2023 and 2024 will be migrated. If you need to review a specific past statement, please email communications@thoracic.org with your request. With the help of the ATS Ethics and Conflicts of Interest, Health Policy, Environmental Health Policy, and Health Equity and Diversity committee members, ATS is developing a new policy on making public statements.
