“I am
looking forward to helping ADAO in its mission of not only connecting those
suffering from the effects of asbestos disease, but helping to create an
environment where these afflictions will some day become a thing of the past,”
stated Dr. Lemen. “The facts must be continually uncovered, examined and shared
to reach this visionary goal.”
“I want to support the work of ADAO because it
seeks to educate people about the hazards of asbestos, and education is always
vitally important for disease prevention,” stated Dr. Frank. “It also is active
in protecting people from the forces that are arrayed against just compensation
for disease caused by past exposures.”
“ADAO is enormously blessed to have both Dr. Frank and
Dr. Lemen lead our Science Advisory Board,” stated ADAO Executive Director,
Linda Reinstein. “These men have given their hearts, minds and souls to help
fight asbestos disease and we look forward to benefiting from their tremendous
expertise as we work to expand awareness about the dangers of
asbestos.”
