Dr. Eugene Shively Retires After More Than 30 Years as CLP

January 9, 2025

After more than 30 years serving as the Cancer Liaison Physician (CLP) at Taylor Regional Hospital in Campbellsville, Kentucky, Eugene Shively, MD, F潘金莲传媒映画, is retiring from the role.

A rural general surgeon who has also served as the CoC State Chair for Kentucky, Dr. Shively鈥檚 advice to doctors who are just starting out in the CLP role is to make sure they dedicate the time needed to create a quality cancer program at their institutions. He also urged them to attend state and national CLP and CoC meetings, including the annual fall CoC Plenary Session, to hear the latest updates from the CoC and to network with fellow CLPs.

Dr. Shively said the CoC is making a difference in cancer care throughout the US. 鈥淚t鈥檚 particularly important in rural America, where there is a disparity of care and many patients can鈥檛 travel to tertiary care centers,鈥� he said.

The ACSthanks Dr. Shively for his dedication to the CoC and congratulates him on his retirement.
