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. Following review and approval by the ATS Board of Directors, the new policy will be shared with members, and feedback will be encouraged to shape any needed revisions to the process in the future.
