The Survive 2 Thrive Project has propelled Greenwood Leflore Hospital into the forefront of lung cancer screening/care for the Mississippi Delta.
Through the project’s funds, Greenwood Leflore Hospital has obtained a 12 passenger van to provide transportation for our patients, most of whom are in dire need of affordable transportation for proper access to care.
The project funded the purchase of a data software tracking program, Nurse Nav. Oncology, which allows us to track our patients and pull data in a most efficient manner.
The hospital has:
- purchased new screening equipment for Low-Dose cancer screening for lung cancer.
- purchased a Linear Accelerator for our Radiation Oncologist.
- hired two pulmonologists.
- implemented $99.00 low-dose lung cancer screening for the general public.
Survive 2 Thrive has made contact with 135 total patients. Two of the screening patients received a cancer diagnosis due to the screening process, and others are under monitoring for potential issues.
