Kim has been a pioneer in implementing cancer navigation programs. A Vanderbilt University graduate and former director of cancer support services, she utilizes her experience in program development to create best-practice lung programs. At Saint Thomas Health in Nashville, TN, Kim was featured within Ascension Health as a lung program expert. She created, directed, and implemented the comprehensive lung cancer program: LDCT screening, incidental nodule follow-up, lung nodule clinic, tumor site-specific multidisciplinary conferences, and survivorship. Most importantly, her program demonstrated an increase in early-stage lung diagnosis resulting in improved patient quality of life while increasing revenue for health systems. Now, Kim is excited to be with the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer as Associate Director, Quality Care, and Clinical Relations.
