The New York AIR Society is comprised of a diverse group of ambitious young professionals from a variety of industries in New York. Since its inception in 1991, more than $5 million has been raised to fund research, patient care, and clinical and educational programs at National Jewish Health. The drive of these founding members came from the positive experience they or a family member had while being treated at National Jewish Health.
