We’ve hit our goal, but we’re not stopping until lung disease is history. Donations will be accepted, and fundraising pages will remain open through Saturday, November 30.

Medical Honoree
Jeffrey G. Schneider, MD, FACP

Jeffrey G. Schneider, MD, FACP is currently the chief of medical oncology and hematology at NYU Langone Health’s Long Island campus in Mineola. Born and raised on Long Island, Dr. Schneider is committed to providing state of the art cancer care to the Long Island community. He started and leads the lung cancer center of excellence at NYU Long Island where he also started the first hospital-based lung cancer screening program in the New York metropolitan area and has been principal investigator on numerous cutting edge clinical trials involving novel immunotherapeutic and molecularly targeted therapies. In his own words, Dr. Schneider lives by the mantra that: “We should never be satisfied until we can prevent or cure every case of lung cancer. Smoking cessation, early detection, coordinated multidisciplinary care and novel therapeutics are already promising that reality.” Dr. Schneider has published and lectured extensively on the topic of lung cancer. He has received numerous “Top Doctor” and other awards. He graduated from Lawrence High School (1977), Brown University (1981), and Yale University School of Medicine (1986). He did his medical residency at NYU in Manhattan and his fellowship in medical oncology and hematology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

      Why We Need You

      Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men. Someone is diagnosed with lung cancer every two minutes and 14 seconds. 4 in 5 of those diagnosed will ultimately die of the disease.

      Why We're Hopeful

      More Americans than ever are surviving lung cancer. The survival rate has increased by a dramatic 13% to 22.6% in the last 5 years. Your support will help us continue the progress in our efforts to defeat lung cancer.
