Our guest on this ALCSI podcast is Joan Burnham, MSN, RN, ONN-CG, OCN, MEDSURG-BC, an Oncology Nurse Navigator within the Houston Methodist health system. Joan’s nursing journey began in 1985 at St. Luke’s Episcopal before moving to the oncology department of the Kelsey-Seybold clinic in 1988. From there, Joan would establish, oversee, or serve in the oncology departments of multiple different health systems in Kansas and Texas. In 2010, Joan joined Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital to start in-patient oncology services. In 2019, Joan transitioned from bedside nursing to the Oncology Nurse Navigator for Thoracic, Esophageal and Genitourinary cancer patients at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. While there, among many other things, she has implemented a Lung Nodule Program and organized Houston Methodist’s first National Lung Cancer Screening Day. Your podcast hosts are Priyanka Senthil, Jacob Rashap, Pranav Mandyam, and Sam Schwartz. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Large clinical trials have shown that lung cancer screening through low-dose computed tomography (CT) reduces lung cancer mortality by up to 33%. In fact, if every high-risk American were to get screened right now, thousands of lives could be saved this year alone. However, less than 5% of high-risk Americans are currently getting screened.
