The Lung Nodule Nurse Navigator will serve as a central point of contact for patients with lung nodules. Sherrod will help ensure timely follow-up tracking as well as the monitoring and coordination of care and scans. She will also facilitate multi-disciplinary team discussions and lead patient education.

“Jennifer’s role will be critical in the implementation and success of our Lung Nodule Program,” said Dr. Binav Shrestha, a pulmonologist at Wilson Medical Center. “I am confident that with her leadership, patients will have a trusted and experienced guidance throughout their time in our program.”
