LUNGevity Foundation, the nation’s leading lung cancer-focused nonprofit organization, welcomes Michelle Futrell, MSN, MBA, RN, as Director of Lung Cancer Screening Programs and Initiatives. In this new role, Michelle will develop the organization’s blueprint for lung cancer screening programs, create educational programs for healthcare providers, and directly support patients seeking information on lung cancer screening.


Michelle has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing as well as a dual degree—Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Science in Business Administration. Prior to joining LUNGevity, Michelle worked as a registered nurse, 10 years of which were in the emergency department. She most recently spent eight years at Virginia Commonwealth University as a lung cancer screening program coordinator.


“My personal battle with cancer gives me a unique perspective and has helped me in my current role. When I talk to individuals who may be nervous about having a lung cancer screening for fear of the results, I understand where they are coming from. At the same time, it drives me to want to help educate individuals about lung cancer screening, its purpose, and its importance,” says Michelle.


“We are thrilled that Michelle has joined the LUNGevity team,” says Andrea Ferris, president and CEO of LUNGevity Foundation. "Her professional experience with lung cancer screening brings invaluable insights and expertise. Michelle will help us accelerate the uptake of lung cancer screening among the eligible population and especially among hard-to-reach communities. Lung cancer screening saves lives."
