LUNGevity Foundation, the nation’s leading lung cancer-focused nonprofit organization, welcomes Ann Fish-Steagall, BSN, RN, as its Senior Vice President of Patient Services. In her new role, Ann will be responsible for developing the organization’s blueprint for patient services and overseeing its execution.
LUNGevity provides services to both the patient and their caregiver, irrespective of where the patient is in their journey – newly diagnosed, in treatment, living with the disease, or a long-term survivor. Materials are created to provide the healthcare team, including healthcare providers, nurses, and nurse navigators, with the tools they need to help inform their patients. As Senior Vice President of Patient Services, Ann will be ensuring that LUNGevity’s offerings prioritize and address needs across the lung cancer continuum of care.
“Advances in early detection, treatment, and overall understanding of disease progression mean that people are living longer and better with lung cancer. LUNGevity is committed to providing services that address the unique needs of all people impacted by the disease, including long-term survivors and their caregivers,” said Andrea Ferris, president and CEO of LUNGevity Foundation. “Expanding the breadth and efficacy of our patient services ensures that the lung cancer survivors of today and tomorrow have the resources they need to thrive.”
Ann Fish-Steagall received her Bachelor of Science in nursing and Bachelor of Social Work from Mars Hill College (University) in Mars Hill, NC. Prior to joining LUNGevity, Ann served as a research nurse and thoracic nurse navigator at the University of North Carolina. She is attuned to patients' needs; as the former director of clinical operations at Biologics by McKesson, Ann directed and implemented significant patient management programs. Ann shares that her life’s passion has been to improve the lives of patients, and we are grateful that she will continue this work at LUNGevity Foundation.
