When Distance Becomes the Diagnosis: Financing Lung Cancer in Rural Communities| Eugene Manley

Why does lung cancer receive disproportionately lower funding for research and treatment compared to every other form of cancer, despite being the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.? Dr. Eugene Manley Jr., Founder and CEO of the STEMM & Cancer Health Equity Foundation (SCHEQ), explores the barriers, possibilities, and progress shaping the fight against lung cancer, particularly in underserved communities. He highlights how stigma continues to influence public perception of the disease, often leading to reduced attention, funding, and support compared to other cancers, deepening existing health inequities. #whataboutruralhealth [https://whataboutruralhealth.com/] #podcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast] #healthequity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/healthequity] #ruralhealth [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ruralhealth] #interview [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/interview] #healthcare [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/healthcare] #healthfinancing #podmatch [https://podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/chinasaimo] Want to be a guest on What About Rural Health?™?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
