About the Author:
Dr. Skibo completed his pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Yale University in 2004. In 2012 at Gundersen Health, Western Campus for the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, he co-implemented one of the first system-wide incidental pulmonary nodule programs in the country. From there, he moved to Haywood Regional Medical Center in Clyde, NC, where he built and led a lung cancer program that gained national recognition as a Lung Cancer Center of Excellence. Dr. Skibo and Haywood were an early adopter of Eon solutions for lung cancer screening and incidental pulmonary nodule management, and understand the value Eon brings to an early detection lung cancer program. The success of Eon at Haywood led parent company LifePoint Health to expand Eon to all 88 hospitals. Dr. Skibo has been the Chief Medical Officer at Eon for nearly 5 years.
