Description
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is holding a daylong workshop, COPD National Action Plan: Tracking Our Progress, on November 13, 2019, at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. We will discuss the progress the COPD community has made toward implementing the goals and objectives in the COPD National Action Plan, and how to collectively track these efforts.
Panel presentations will discuss federal agency efforts to address COPD, national initiatives by supporting organizations, and approaches targeted to individual audiences. Afternoon discussions will gather feedback on how to track, report, and achieve the National Action Plan's goals.
