speakers for thyroid patient support organizations. As an
association, ATA has been working ever more closely with several
highly regarded patient organizations. Through the work of
the Patient Education and Advocacy Committee, ATA has initiated
the ATA Alliance for Thyroid Patient Education . The ATA Alliance for Thyroid Patient Education will
support patient education and public awareness of thyroid
disease.
