LUNGevity Health Equity Council Series

As part of its long-term commitment to ensure that all people diagnosed with lung cancer have optimal care, LUNGevity Foundation, the nation’s leading lung cancer-focused nonprofit organization, launched its Health Equity Council Webinar Series to inform future health equity priorities for patients on topics of great timing, relevance and interest.

This council – and consequential webinar participants – are made up of leaders from a variety of lived experiences, racial/ethnic identities, gender identities, geographies, organizational settings, areas of professional expertise, and career stages, all committed to ensuring that all people diagnosed with lung cancer have the same opportunities for best-case outcomes and access to trusted resources, irrespective of their geographic location, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, age, or marginalization in society.
