Commemorating an assn pioneer
US Postal Service released a new 76-cent stamp to honor Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau, founder of the National Assn for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the precursor to the American Lung Assn. Trudeau, who contracted then overcame TB, dedicated his life to researching and treating tuberculosis, a highly infectious disease that at one time killed one in seven people in the US. “Dr. Trudeau was a true pioneer who led a public health movement and remained focused on the ideal that we can overcome a disease through coordinated research, education and advocacy,” ALA CEO Bernadette Toomey said.
