Landry is among 64 state chairs that will oversee more than 1,600 volunteer cancer liaison physicians appointed in U.S. cancer programs. The doctors are responsible for spearheading CoC initiatives within their career program; collaborating with local agencies and facilitating quality improvement initiatives using data submitted to the CoC’s database.
