Michelle Hills calls for unity in demanding action to increase lung cancer screening rates

Michelle Hills, Senior Director, National Business Development at Otsuka Precision Health, made the following post on LinkedIn:

“OncoDaily is promoting a good initiative by ACS to close health disparities! The public needs to know that the survivorship rates cited for this program are well over 60%. Lung cancer is glaringly absent and this is where we all need to come together and DEMAND action to increase lung cancer screening rates which are ABYSMAL at 6%. Health systems have been a barrier with decades of excuses that need to end now. The White Ribbon Project has launched the LuJean King Memorial Lung Cancer Outreach Program in Kansas City Missouri. It’s a small grant from the Masonic Cancer Alliance at KUCC- developed with evidenced based practices at ALSCI.org
If anyone wants to help fund this grant, please join us. LuJean was my cancer Mom, I love her and miss her.”
