The CHEST Foundation is pleased to support the efforts of the Women's Health NetWork and Pallative and End-of-Life Care NetWork. We encourage you to become a member, get involved, and participate in the NetWork Open Meetings held each year at CHEST. Please visit the NetWork Web sites and learn about all of their fantastic work. NetWorks are the lifeblood of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP). They are interdisciplinary, focused-interest groups providing the opportunity for your personal and professional alliance with the ACCP. NetWorks provide a portal for members to participate with other members or groups who share similar expertise and concerns relative to clinical practice and/or community health issues. Developed as an evolutionary fruition of the expanding ACCP Sections, NetWorks provide an avenue for action on local, national, and global levels, a pathway to raise issues, and a process for acquiring new skills while joining other professionals who have diverse perspectives and expertise. NetWorks are dynamic structures for information development, exchange, and dissemination. There are two categories of Networks: clinical networks and community networks. Clinical NetWorks are interdisciplinary groups of members with common goals of promoting prevention and treatment of specific disorders of the chest and critical illness. Community NetWorks are interdisciplinary groups with common interests in unique patient-based and/or member-based issues. You can participate in one or many NetWorks, depending on your needs, interests, and availability.
