HONOLULU, HI | March 16, 2021
Honolulu’s Valerie Davison is heading to Washington, D.C. virtually to fight for the health of all the people of Hawaii against lung cancer, the number one cancer killer in the state.
Davison’s sister, Eleanor Grace, died of lung cancer in 2015, prompting Davison to become an advocate for the cause. In 2018, Davison joined the Leadership Board of the American Lung Association in Hawaii.
“Shortly after Eleanor’s death, I learned that less than 4% of high-risk people in Hawaii are actually screened for lung cancer,” said Davison. “This is shocking considering that Hawaii is the 3rd healthiest state in the union, yet our lung cancer survival rate is less than 19%.”
