Wade Swenson, Medical Oncologist and Hematologist at Rural Cancer Institute, Professor of Internal Medicine at Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University, Presidential Leadership Scholar, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Honored to be speaking at the Rural Minnesota Lung Cancer Summit on June 26 in Brainerd, hosted by A Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Foundation.
I’ll be representing Lakewood Health System in Session 2: Identifying and Utilizing a Multidisciplinary Team in Rural Practice, alongside Joshua Pritchett, from Mayo Clinic and Kayla Hesse, RN, from CentraCare. The session focuses on delivering high-quality cancer care, centralizing programs, and filling gaps with external supports – the daily reality of rural oncology.
This is a remarkable event bringing together providers from across Minnesota to tackle the real-world barriers rural patients face in lung cancer screening, biomarker testing, and access to care. Minnesota’s five-year lung cancer survival rate of 33.7% leads the nation – but there is more work to do.
If you’re a healthcare professional working in lung cancer care, registration is free and virtual attendance is available.
