Our results illustrate just how wide a gap exists between the expectations and the reality of lung cancer screening benefits among some groups of current smokers.” Growing out of earlier work, VA clinicians developed the VA Partnership to Increase Access to Lung Screening (VA-PALS) demonstration project. Today, VA-PALS encompasses 10 VA medical centers across the country and is standing up a cloud-based management system to track Veterans who have undergone lung cancer screening. The GO2 Foundation can help VA deliver its message about the importance of lung screening to Veterans throughout the U.S.,” he says. The GO2 Foundation is also ready to work with the VA Office of Community Care to help Veterans identify high-quality screening centers if they choose to seek care in the community.
In 2012, the PD shared the story of how Don Stranathan connected with a New York woman, Penny Blume, on an online health forum for people dealing with lung cancer. Stranathan’s lung cancer was fairly stable but Blume’s worsened. Kim Norris, president and founder of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America, said Stranathan was invaluable as a champion of the message that lung cancer deserves concern and funding commensurate with the havoc it wreaks. His son, Michael Stranathan, and daughter Christa Chamberlain Dwight and the rest of his family suggest memorial donations to the GO2 Foundation, the Chris Draft Family Foundation or the LUNGevity Foundation.
The fundraising efforts of the ALK Positive members and their supporters have been extraordinary, and we are hopeful this project will make significant strides in accomplishing our mission to ‘improve the life expectancy and quality of life for all ALK-positive patients worldwide’,” said Gina Hollenbeck, the group’s president. At a time when we are making great strides in the treatment of lung cancer, yet research funding is lacking, we are deeply appreciative of this funding from members of ALK Positive,” said Lovly. ALK Positive members are committed to raising funds for research to increase ALK-positive lung cancer patients’ survivorship. ALK Positive members uphold these by providing information about ALK-positive lung cancer to each other; supporting one another around the globe to improve members’ physical and emotional well-being; and having empathy with each other because they share their lung cancer journey.
No-show rates average 15 percent for appointments across our system and around 50 per cent for behavioral health appointments,” says Lisa Brandt, MBA, BS, RDH, vice president of population health for Indiana University Health Physicians group in Indianapolis, Ind. Lack of transportation is a significant barrier when accessing care, especially for patients that are low-income, disabled and/or suffer from a chronic condition,” says Liz Helms, president and CEO of the California Chronic Care Coalition in Sacramento. To avoid patients paying out of pocket, we are paying for transportation services if they meet our regulatory criteria and have financial need, based on information provided to our care managers and social workers,” says Brandt. Because many people have time and transportation barriers to their initial visit with a medical provider, virtual healthcare options speed time to initial evaluation,” says Blake McKinney, MD, cofounder and chief medical officer at CirrusMD, a text-based virtual care platform located in Denver, Colo.
