Leaders from radiology and hospital administration involved in lung cancer screening and treatment at Indiana's Elkhart General Hospital share how they partnered to create a multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Conference. During this webinar Cindie McPhie, vice president of operations at Elkhart General Hospital and Dr. Samir Patel, radiologist and director of the Value Management Program at Radiology Inc. share how patients and family members have a seat at the table, participating with doctors in their course of treatment.
