On Friday, Nov. 4, End Lung Cancer Now (ELCN) hosted its 2nd Annual Gathering event at the NCAA Hall of Champions. Nearly 100 lung cancer advocates, including systems leaders, healthcare providers, and community leaders, gathered to discuss how we can increase access to low-dose CT scans, spread awareness that these screenings are available and effective, as well as decrease the stigma around lung cancer so that there is no longer any guilt or shame around needing a scan. Key focus areas for these discussions included how to incorporate primary care education and engagement, systems-based changes, and community education and advocacy into this action plan.
