2023 Advocacy Summit: Find Your Voice

Everyone has a voice! Whether you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, care for or have cared for someone with lung cancer or want to help change the statistics, we want to help you learn how to use your voice to advocate for yourself and others. The 11th Annual Lung Cancer Initiative Advocacy Summit at Revolution Mill in Greensboro, NC was a great opportunity to meet others who have been impacted by lung cancer and engage in a community of support.

Watch the 11th Annual Lung Cancer Initiative Advocacy Summit below!
