Hadar Kramer’s Post

Today is World Lung Day and I wanted to continue raising awareness of the racial health gap in lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the US, but Black men have the highest death rate of any other racial or ethnic group.   To help address this problem, my colleagues and I at Johnson & Johnson are developing a unique framework to build scalable lung cancer screening programs across geographies and systems, focused on improving healthcare disparities and promoting equitable access to lung health.   Click here to learn more about how we are implementing and iterating on this framework through a pilot program with a national health system: https://bit.ly/46mwlGX   #MyCompany #WorldLungDay #LungCancer #OurRaceToHealthEquity Samantha Kirby, Jeff LeCates, Dianna Cobb, MHA, MSN, Miles Asafo-Adjei, Sam Younger, PhD, MSN, MHA, Sara McNally, Ashley Williams, MBA

  • Black people in the US with lung cancer are 15% less likely to be diagnosed early, 19% less likely to receive surgical treatment, and 12% less likely to survive five years than White people in the US.
