Our Commitment
to Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion
|
|
|
|
It's been one year since we formed the American Lung Association's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Council, and we're proud of what we've accomplished since then. At the core of our mission is addressing health inequities in the United States, while also ensuring we're speaking to the unique needs of all populations. Our leadership team has a special message reflecting on this year of action — we want you to know about everything we're doing.
