We stand with our members and their families who have fled the devastating California wildfires, as well as health care facilities that are struggling in the aftermath. As teams and troops respond and fight to assist these hard-hit communities, our hearts are with our members and their patients in the region.
The College is committed to providing information and resources to assist allergists in the region.
