CHEST Task Force
In early March 2020, CHEST President Stephanie Levine, MD, FCCP, asked Steven Q. Simpson, MD, FCCP, to lead a task force made up of CHEST experts across our NetWorks in Chest Infections, Critical Care, and Disaster Response and Global Health to ensure CHEST properly supports our community in this time of need. Through the development of educational resources and advice, this group aims to provide meaningful and complementary guidance to that emerging from the CDC and from your local settings. Please keep us apprised of your needs. We welcome input and ask that you contact us via COVID-19@chestnet.org to tell us how we can best support you.
