Radiology Health Equity Coalition Community of Practice | Unveiling the Impact of National Lung Cancer Screening Day

Prepare to be inspired by a transformative healthcare initiative as we shine a spotlight on the second annual National Lung Cancer Screening Day ("National LCS Day"), a collaborative effort brought to you by the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable (ACS NLCRT), the American College of Radiology® (ACR®) and the Radiology Health Equity Coalition (RHEC).


This dynamic session takes you on a journey into the heart of a groundbreaking initiative designed to enhance screening access and empower patients in their battle against lung cancer. Set against the backdrop of Lung Cancer Awareness Month and the poignant occasion of Veterans Day, this partnership is set to create a powerful ripple effect within the healthcare landscape.


During this session, we will unveil the visionary collaboration between ACS NLCRT, ACR, RHEC, and the Veterans Administration that has given rise to National LCS Day. As we delve into the initiative's purpose, attendees will gain insights into the core objective: increasing lung cancer screening accessibility for individuals who face challenges in scheduling due to their weekly routines.


The significance of National LCS Day goes beyond a single event. It symbolizes a commitment to saving lives, enhancing outreach and creating impactful change within our communities. With a focus on the veteran population, we salute our brave servicemen and women by amplifying awareness and outreach, acknowledging the profound connection between this initiative and the Veterans Day holiday.

  • The driving force behind National Lung Cancer Screening Day.

  • Collaborative efforts between ACS NLCRT, ACR, RHEC, and the Veterans Administration.
