’67

Lloyd Everson, M.D. (B.S. Med ’67), vice chairman of US Oncology, has been appointed by President Bush to the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB). The NCAB advises, consults and makes policy recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the National Cancer Institute on issues related to cancer care.  He is one of 18 members appointed by the President to serve rotating six-year terms.

           

Everson has served in many roles throughout his career, including the practice of oncology and hematology, cancer research, academic and administrative medicine. He was one of the founders of US Oncology as well as the US Oncology Research Network, one of the largest community-based research organizations in the nation.

           

He earned a B.S. in Chemistry in 1965 and a B.S. in Medicine in 1967 from the University of North Dakota. He received his M.D. degree from Harvard University in 1969, completed his internship and residency at Cornell Cooperating Hospitals, New York and Memorial Hospitals, and was a senior resident in Medicine in Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

           

“This is an incredible honor and I am very excited about the opportunity to contribute to such a prestigious and influential board,” said Everson. “In my role as vice chairman of US Oncology, I work with approximately 1,000 oncologists across the country and I am inspired by their innovation and dedication to advancing the quality of care available to cancer patients. I look forward to providing a credible voice for their important work and for their patients.”
