Presented by Sharp
Community Connections in San Diego was made possible thanks to a grant from The San Diego Foundation.
As part of our LUNG FORCE initiative, we are featuring encore presentations
Community Connections, nicknamed "Dinner with The Docs", is brought to you by Burr Heart and Lung Clinic at Sharp Grossmont Hospital.
Co Hosted by:
Tony Gwynn Jr of the San Diego Padres, Dr. Tim Morris of UCSD, and American Lung Association Board Members
As the nation’s lung health champion for over a century, the American Lung Association is committed to defeating lung cancer and supporting those affected by this disease. We work tirelessly to raise awareness and increase screening rates for high-risk individuals, so they are diagnosed early. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for lung cancer patients and survivors, and to ultimately save lives. Our vision is a future free of lung cancer.
