GO2’s Excellence in Healthcare Delivery program has been an amazing partner for our thoracic oncology team. They’ve collaborated with us in our scientific endeavors, have been an invaluable resource in the start and growth of our early lung cancer detection programs, and developing our navigators through their Lung Cancer Navigator Program.

Thoracic oncology business model
What began as a local innovation evolved into a scalable tool that any thoracic oncology team can use to build a comprehensive early detection program.
238,000 new lung cancer cases annually call for top healthcare professionals.
“I love attending the COE Summit and engaging with others who are passionate about their work in lung cancer. I always come home with new ways to improve our program and inspiration to achieve even more.”
“After attending the COE Summit in 2018, I took all the information we learned and all the contacts we made and put together a plan to grow our program’s capacity and reach. We went from one lung cancer screening navigator in 2018 to a 12-person team with four nurse navigators—two for screening and two for IPNs, and our patient volumes have grown so much that we are in the process of hiring our fifth navigator. We learned how to make this happen from networking at the GO2 conference.”
“I’ve had a wonderful experience with GO2. The resources have been incredible to me. And it’s definitely helped me develop our program into one of the most successful lung screening programs in Massachusetts for a community hospital.”
