Kentucky Lung Cancer Screening Learning Collaborative
Kentucky Lung Cancer Screening Learning Collaborative: Achieving Equity is organized by UK HealthCare and led by the Kentucky Lung Cancer Education Awareness Detection Survivorship (KY LEADSTM) Prevention and Early Detection team and the Quality Implementation of Lung Cancer Screening (QUILSTM) system.
Spearheaded by Drs. Jennifer Redmond Knight and Timothy Mullett at the University of Kentucky and Dr. Jamie Studts at the University of Colorado, this series focuses on the equitable implementation of lung cancer screening in our communities.
Through our collaboration, we bring together medical professionals, members of community groups and state-based organizations that focus on lung cancer screening. We host interactive learning sessions where experts present resources to improve equity and optimize screening practice across the Commonwealth. Participation is free.

The collaborative meets for one hour per month from January to June 2023 via zoom.
New participants are welcome to join upcoming sessions.
Meetings include:
