Nucleus Medical Media Featured Contributor to Lung Cancer Guidebook
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 -- Nucleus Medical Media, in an effort to support, improve, and enhance health literacy, has partnered with Dr. Tina St. John, author of “With Every Breath: A Lung Cancer Guidebook” to provide explanatory visuals to lung cancer patients and their families.
Dr. St. John, whose husband passed away from lung cancer at a young age, created the Lung Cancer Guidebook to help families learn about and cope with the scary diagnosis. St. John says: "Having an understanding of living with lung cancer from the perspective of both a medical professional and the loved one of someone with the disease, I sought to create a comprehensive book to help others facing the same challenges our family faced."
The Lung Cancer Guidebook features Nucleus Medical Media illustrations to help patients and families fully understand their diagnoses, the way the body works, and how lung cancer originates and spreads.
“I turned to Nucleus Medical Media to address the need for lung cancer-specific images and illustrations. In every instance, the image or illustration I requested complemented the text perfectly, bringing the words to life,” says St. John.
Nucleus Medical Media’s mission is to help spread health literacy through quality, easy-to-understand medical illustrations and animations. This involves making their educational content available through YouTube and other free mediums to not-for-profit projects that share this mission. A testimonial from St. John illustrates how the use of medical illustrations helps patients understand their diagnosis, but also helps nurses and healthcare providers in their daily practice:
"Danielle R.* is a community outreach nurse who cares for a number of lung cancer patients. She made contact with a request to get a number of copies of 'With Every Breath: A Lung Cancer Guidebook' for her patients and their families. 'Many of my families don’t have computers in their homes, and your book has so much information they can use every day.'"
