The @LurieCancer (LCC) went thru competing renewal of NCI designation. For a 2nd time we got "exceptional" ranking. The NCI site visit team gave a "perfect exceptional" (equivalent to 10). LCC is one of few in the nation and the only one in IL to ever achieve exceptional status.

“Timing, coordination and expertise in care care are not optional. They are lifesaving.” Oncologist Sheetal Kircher, MD, Medical Director of our Cancer Survivorship Institute, shared her perspective on access to complex therapies in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on PBMs.

Excited to host our NCI colleagues today for our Site Visit ! @LurieCancer
