I have been extremely impressed with the professionalism, expertise, and supportive resources that ThriveNV has provided to our community. Additionally, having bi-lingual community partners ensures that our patient population is afforded the communication and support they deserve.
ThriveNV has been an amazing program to work with! I live in a rural part of Nevada, which means that sometimes resources are difficult to find. Working with ThriveNV and Amy Thompson made all of the difference. They were able to connect us with resources and eased the burden of trying to piece everything together ourselves. An amazing group of people doing amazing things!
I have nothing but good things to say about this organization. Starting with the staff, they are caring, friendly, and very knowledgeable! I immediately felt like they were looking out for the best interest of my sick mother. My main contact was Valerie and she provided me and my mother with all the options we could apply to for financial assistance. My mother was a cancer patient with breast cancer and metastasis to the brain and bones.

Access the latest facts on lung cancer in Nevada along with resources to assist with sharing messages about lung cancer prevention and screening. Quick facts are also included in Spanish for easy sharing.
Health care providers and community organizations alike can share this information on the health effects of quitting smoking. What happens after 5 minutes, an hour or a day?

Please join the lung cancer community for National Lung Cancer Screening Day on Saturday, November 12, 2022. The National Lung Cancer Roundtable (NLCRT), established by the American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology (ACR), the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer, and the Radiology Healthy Equity Coalition (RHEC) have come together to promote this life-saving event and raise awareness about lung cancer screening.
Join GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer for a one-hour live webinar on leveraging mammography to increase lung cancer screening uptake among women.
Experts will address the outcome impact of optimizing lung cancer screening among eligible mammography patients, along with practical implementation insights for harnessing mammography to identify, educate, refer and screen at-risk women.
Despite years of progress in screening and medical advances, lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer death among Nevadans – and across the U.S. This year it’s estimated that 2,030 Nevadans will have been diagnosed with lung cancer and close to 1,170 people will die of the disease.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and an opportunity to educate the community about screening for lung cancer and how to reduce the risk for getting the disease.
