Medical advances in tuberculosis research produce the first effective drug treatments for the disease. Respiratory Health Association, then known as TB Institute of Chicago and Cook County, continues to assist in the detection and fight against TB, and offers more than 1 million chest x-rays to detect TB. RHA eventually broadens its mission to include other lung diseases, including asthma, lung cancer and COPD, and the fight against smoking.
