If something as simple as a blood test could help lead you to find out you have cancer earlier – increasing your chances of survival, would you take it?
Join us for a discussion on improving early lung cancer detection rates through a collaborative effort between OSF HealthCare, the OSF Cancer Institute and DELFI Diagnostics. It’s an important effort, considering only 16 percent of lung cancer cases are discovered in the early stages.
Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Susan Tousi, chief executive officer of DELFI Diagnostics and Mark Meeker, DO, internal medicine physician for OSF to discover how this innovative work hopes to lead to the diagnosis of lung cancer sooner and save more lives.

The Sisters have always valued innovation. OSF HealthCare has a long-standing history of innovating in pediatric care, which continues today.
Two of those innovators are Bill Albers, MD, a pioneering pediatric cardiologist and Tim Miller, MD, OSF HealthCare’s first neonatologist, who developed the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Both have written books capturing that history. We explore the early days (along with author Monica Vest Wheeler who spoke directly with nurses) to see how they shaped the best care for our smallest patients today and in the future.

The C word – Cancer. It’s something no one wants to hear. Navigating the journey can be exhausting for everyone involved, including those within the health system helping patients navigate their care. What if there was something that could help reduce the potential for burnout?
Host Shelli Dankoff is joined by Dr. Jon Handler, clinical informaticist and senior innovation fellow for OSF HealthCare to discuss how OSF is leading the way in the creation of an artificial intelligence algorithm to better balance workloads for nurse navigators.
