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:
“What a morning at the 2025 Psychosocial Oncology Professionals Symposium in Denver!
Jennifer Bires delivered the best talk I’ve ever seen on this topic. Her presentation on AI-enhanced psychosocial care hit exactly the right notes – thoughtful, practical, and deeply human-centered. She’s been publishing her great work, presenting at conferences nationwide, and really shaping how we think about using these emerging tools responsibly in mental health care. Sally Werner, thank you for your thoughtful leadership in this space, too.
Here’s what I love about her approach: she’s crystal clear that humans need to stay at the wheel. But she’s also not afraid to name the reality we’re all facing – our mental health system is buckling under the weight of patient needs and serious workforce shortages.
This isn’t about replacing the human connection that’s at the heart of what we do. It’s about figuring out how technology can help us reach more patients who need support. That distinction matters.
Thanks, Jenn, for your leadership on this. We need more people willing to navigate these complex questions with both optimism and care.”
