How can oncology nurses make an impact beyond the bedside while preserving compassionate care?
We caught up with @drCarterBawa during her recent studio visit to hear her perspective on the evolving role of oncology nurses.
🎥 Hear what she had to say!

In this new @MilbankFund article, @drCarterBawa argues that #stigma is a social determinant of health that leads to population health inequities. Stigma should be formally recognized as a social determinant of health so it can be addressed through policy. doi.org/10.1111/1468-0009.70…

Annual #LungCancer screening can find cancer at earlier, more treatable stages, but uptake is low. @drCarterBawa and team found that adults eligible for lung cancer screening could be reached through targeted Facebook advertisements. doi.org/10.2196/80281
Husband spilled coffee all over me at the @Delta Sky Club at EWR. Instead of chaos, staff pulled my suitcase off the plane so I could change, sent it right back, kept everything on schedule. That’s how you turn a travel mishap into a loyal customer moment. Thank you 🙏🏽
You know your science. But when you sit down to write the grant, the words don’t come out right. That’s not a skills problem — it’s a translation problem. I built a 12-module curriculum to fix it. Aligned w/ the NIH 2025 review framework. soultosoulleadership.thinkif…

"[Patients] with #LungCancer are often met with accusations, said @drCarterBawa [of] @HMHNewJersey. The first question that anybody asks is, 'Did you smoke?' she said." @nytimes highlighting @drCarterBawa's incredible #LungCancer stigma work! Read more 👇

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war."

Lung cancer is one of the most stigmatized diseases in medicine.
That stigma shapes who gets screened, who gets believed, and who gets supported.
Today, the @nytimes published a piece examining why this matters and what it costs.
Read and reflect:
🇺🇸 Yep, that's my good friend @JimPantelas, a @USNavy Veteran, sharing with the @nytimes what it feels like to have the burden of shame when diagnosed with lung cancer.

How can we bridge gaps between what providers say and what patients hear? Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa and an expert panel are unpacking how empathy and understanding can strengthen communication in lung cancer care. #NLCRT2025

How can public health and health systems better align their communication strategies? In this hands-on discussion, participants are learning practical ways to strengthen messages that resonate with both patients and providers. #NLCRT2025
Thank you for capturing pieces of my keynote. It was a privilege to deliver a message about being lost in translation & the gap between what we say & what patients hear! Let’s continue to change this public discourse around #lungcancer and #endthestigma @HMHNewJersey @NLCRTnews

Parents do everything to protect their daughters, but one protection is often missed.
The HPV vaccine can prevent cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.
Talk to your doctor today.
