TriHealth Lung Program

The TriHealth Lung Program is committed to improving lung cancer survival in our community through timely screening and personalized treatment plans. The program focuses on various aspects of lung and pulmonary care including smoking cessation, lung screening and state-of-the-art treatment options, for those patients who need it.

Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women. This is because lung cancer symptoms don’t appear until the cancer is very advanced. A lung cancer screening for current and former smokers can find cancer much sooner. TriHealth’s Lung Screening Program provides low dose CT scans for earlier detection of lung cancer.

Center of Excellence for Lung Cancer

TriHealth has received designation as a Care Continuum Center of Excellence by the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer (GO2 Foundation). The designation recognizes commitment to improving outcomes for those diagnosed with lung cancer by providing patient-focused and coordinated multidisciplinary care. GO2 Foundation has formed the Care Continuum Centers of Excellence program to enable patient access to standard of care lung cancer screening, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship in their local community.

The Care Continuum Centers of Excellence (CCCOE) program recognizes community hospitals that meet rigorous qualifying criteria that demonstrate collaborative leadership across the lung cancer care continuum. Meeting the CCCOE criteria puts member hospitals on par with leading academic and research institutions and provides patients with access to the latest innovations not typically found in community hospitals. The CCCOE approach results in patients receiving compassionate and timely care, as well as treatment options that improve survivorship.
