Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Clinical Research Philanthropic Pillar
Supporting clinical research bolsters patient access and care in diverse communities. By providing grants to early career researchers, we aid them in acquiring vital data and clinically important results. Together, we empower innovation, bridge gaps, and ensure equitable health care outcomes for all.
Community Impact Philanthropic Pillar
Our community impact program partners with local organizations, fostering collaboration that provides vital services and education on key lung health issues. By working together, we can strengthen our impact, empowering communities to prioritize and improve respiratory well-being.
Support of the Profession Philanthropic Pillar
We support pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine by providing top-notch clinical education. We empower early career clinicians from diverse backgrounds with the latest knowledge, enabling them to optimally care for their patients and advance the field of chest medicine.
Dedication to Education Philanthropic Pillar
We strive to bridge gaps, break barriers, and improve health care interactions for better patient outcomes and overall health. Strengthening patient-clinician communication and partnering with patient-based organizations are our most direct avenues for impacting patient understanding of their disease and improving quality of life.
First 5 Minutes
Experience and patient feedback tell us patients are more willing to follow medical instructions when they feel understood. They also have better long-term health outcomes.
The First 5 Minutes program consists of evidence-based skills to establish trust with your patients in the first 5 minutes of your interactions. With improved communication, youll see that it takes less effort to help your patients more. See the difference it can make in your practice.
Bridging Specialties
Clinicians are focused on one missionbetter outcomes for their patients. Thats why CHEST and Three Lakes Foundation joined together to launch a collaborative initiative that leverages the combined strengths of different specialties to tackle a shared goal: shortening the time to diagnosis for interstitial lung diseases (ILDs).
Bridging Specialties: Timely Diagnosis for ILD brings together pulmonologists and primary care physicians to define a clearer clinician-guided approach to diagnosis for ILDs like pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
