Michael D. Iseman

Do you have Nontuberculous
Mycobacterial (NTM) Pulmonary Disease?

We are saddened by the news that Dr. Michael Iseman has passed away at the age of 83. Dr. Iseman served for many years as the Chief of the Division of Mycobacterial and Respiratory Infections at National Jewish Health and remains widely regarded as a pioneer and leading scholar in the field. He was a doctor, friend, and family member to so many whose lives he impacted, including the founders of our organization. He will be greatly missed.
