Lauren Kriger Groner, D.O., M.S.

Dr. Lauren Kriger Groner is a cardiothoracic radiologist, health services researcher, and clinical leader focused on advancing lung cancer screening, early detection, and equitable access to diagnostic care. She serves as Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology and Attending Radiologist at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, with research centered on clinical, molecular, and imaging predictors of lung cancer and implementation strategies to increase screening uptake. Dr. Groner’s work bridges clinical practice and community health, addressing barriers to early detection and informing interventions that improve outcomes for diverse populations.

I’m delighted to introduce LungCheck.org, the definitive resource for patients and providers to learn more about lung cancer screening (LCS) and help providers determine patient eligibility, calculate pack-years using our simple and practical pack-year calculator, and order LCS. With the goal of making LCS part of routine clinical care and accessible for all at-risk persons (especially those with the fewest resources), this mobile-friendly website is widely available, clear, concise, and easy to navigate. Check out LungCheck.org, so you can #breatheeasy ? ?
