Centers of Excellence

GO2’s Centers of Excellence (COE) Program is rooted in the belief that the best way to treat lung cancer is by providing patient-focused coordinated, multidisciplinary care with the expertise of a nurse navigator. GO2 for Lung Cancer has formed a network of COE-designated treatment centers to enable patients access to standard of care lung cancer treatment in their local community.

GO2 for Lung Cancer identifies hospitals that meet rigorous qualifying criteria and works closely with COE hospital staff to ensure the highest quality of care with a patient-centric approach. Meeting the COE criteria puts COE member hospitals on par with leading academic and research institutions and provides patients with access to the latest innovations across the lung cancer care continuum not typically found in community hospitals. This multidisciplinary care model includes:

El Camino Hospital, Mountain View, CA

• early screening and nodule follow-up programs

• minimally-invasive biopsy, surgical and radiation therapy techniques that reduce risk and improve patient quality of life

• access to clinical trials for all stages and types of disease
• extensive patient education and support

If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer and would like help finding a GO2-designated Center of Excellence for treatment, please contact our HelpLine at 1-800-298-2436.
