Help Put COPD on the National Agenda! The US COPD Coalition is planning the first-ever National COPD Conference this November 14-15 outside Washington, DC.

An exciting series of plenary sessions, roundtables, workshops, and abstract presentations will shape the agenda for effective action against COPD in the US. Don't miss this unique opportunity! Since the abstracts for the Conference will not be published, previously presented abstracts were invited with important thoughts and data concerning COPD in the US. As a result, the DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING ABSTRACTS is extended to July 15! Please log on to http://www.uscopd.com to find out more about the conference and the US COPD Coalition.
