Douglas Flora, Executive Medical Director of Yung Family Cancer Center at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, President-Elect of the Association of Cancer Care Centers, and Editor in Chief of AI in Precision Oncology, shared a post on LinkedIn by Michael Gieske, Physician Director of Lung Cancer Screening at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, adding:
“Taking lung cancer screening to new levels!
Congratulations to our own Jamie Ries and Michael Gieske for being invited to share the work done by our dedicated St. Elizabeth Healthcare and St. Elizabeth Physicians lung cancer screening teams.
These results are proof positive that your place can do it too! Start by recognizing the lives you can save, and reach out to one of these two if you need the HOW this community hospital just found 23 consecutive stage I lung cancers.
Create the thing you wish existed in your program. These patients need the entire country to make this a priority to see the gains we’ve seen screening breast, prostate, colon or cervical cancers. Be uncomfortable with your numbers and start discussions today.”
Quoting Michael Gieske‘s post:
“STEPROUD to join Jamie Ries in Barcelona, Spain, highlighting the work of our amazing St. Elizabeth Healthcare and St. Elizabeth Physicians Lung Cancer Screening and Population Health teams on the international stage at the World Conference on Lung Cancer!
It was wonderful reconnecting with longtime colleagues and meeting new friends from around the world! Our program continues to serve as a shining beacon – helping set the bar for the United States and beyond.
The White Ribbon Project – together we are driving impact, delivering hope, and saving lives.
Sebastian Schmidt is so gracious in recognizing our accomplishments to date, as well as the VA and Tanel Laisaar of Estonia, similarly demonstrating the crossover of late-stage vs. early-stage lung cancers as a result of lung cancer screening and IPNPs, embracing PRIMARY CARE!”
