The Leadership Summit on Advances in Treating and Managing the Cost of Respiratory Disease examines the costs of respiratory diseases, particularly asthma, COPD and allergies to the workplace. Stakeholders will present economic strategies, new treatment regimens and successful programs that address the cost-impact of respiratory disease. This will include how empowered, educated patients can lower the costs of respiratory disease. The Summit will conclude with developing an action plan to combat workplace respiratory disease. Four keynotes, case studies, three pre-conference seminars, interactive luncheon roundtables and a networking reception provide opportunities for attendees to consult and assess scientific research, new products and enhancements, and initiatives to get greater control of asthma, COPD, allergies and respiratory disease.
