COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Columbus Regional Health Lung Institute was recently named a Center of Excellence by GO2 for Lung Cancer (GO2) for its ongoing commitment to providing patient-centered, evidence-based lung cancer screening.
GO2 Centers of Excellence designated in lung cancer screening are committed to the principles of patient-centered communication and decision-making across the entire care pathway. They implement screening in accordance with current evidence and clinical guidelines developed by professional bodies such as the American College of Radiology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and coordinate patient follow-up, diagnostics, and transition to treatment through a multidisciplinary clinical process.
In addition to receiving this newly awarded designation as a Center of Excellence in Lung Cancer Screening, Columbus Regional Health has also been recognized by GO2 as a Center of Excellence in Incidental Pulmonary Nodules, for providing a structured program that captures incidentally found lung nodules from imaging, with a standardized process for patient follow-up and reporting across the health system.
