I had a great time speaking at the 2024 Social Determinants of Health & Health Equity Forum about our population health approach to cancer prevention and early detection. ICYMI, we talked about: - Why it’s time to abandon the one-size-fits-all approach to cancer prevention and ensure high-risk populations get the care they need to stay ahead of cancer. - How campaign-based risk assessment and digital tools can help healthcare providers meet patients where they are, without overloading clinical teams. - What communication strategies motivate patients to take action and proactively manage their individual cancer risk. To see this approach in action, join CancerIQ for a live webinar on July 18 at 2:30PM CT! Rachael Schmidt, APRN, Cancer Survivorship & Cancer Risk Prevention Program Director, and Assistant Director of Health Promotion & Screening, will share how Nebraska Medicine uses campaign-based risk assessment to drive cancer screening compliance and increase preventive service utilization.

New Perspectives at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) International Conference The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) International Conference was an inspiring event, showcasing impactful stories and resources driving medical excellence. John F. Crowley, BIO President & CEO, highlighted the human impact of biotechnology. The conference draws on powerful narratives like that of actress Viola Davis, who spoke of her mother's dementia.  Crowley himself, motivated by his children's rare genetic disease, has driven vital treatment discoveries. Along with Chair of BIO’s Board of Directors Ted W. Love, MD and President of the Science History Institute David Cole, Crowley spoke eloquently about his experience at the reception held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. This trio presented Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann with the Biotechnology Heritage Award for her philanthropic and oncology advancements.  BIO mobilizes biotech leaders to address patients' top needs, fostering innovation for humanity’s benefit. I’m eager to share more about my experience! #BIOConference #BiotechnologyInnovationOrganization #Biotech #Entrepreneurship #BIO2024
