American Cancer Society Honors Dr. Robert Langdon With Lane W. Adams Quality of Life Award

The American Cancer Society (cancer.org) recognized Robert Langdon, MD with the American Cancer Society Lane W. Adams Quality of Life Award, a prestigious national honor for cancer care and commitment.

The Lane W. Adams Quality of Life Award recognizes individuals who consistently exhibit excellence and compassion in providing care to cancer patients, going beyond their duties to make a difference in the life of cancer patients and their families. This award also represents the concept of the “warm hand of service,” which is an integral part of the Society’s commitment to excellence in cancer care and specifically emphasized by Lane W. Adams when he served as executive vice president of the American Cancer Society. Lane’s definition of the warm hand of service was to “serve others and enrich the purpose of one’s existence.”

The award was presented during a ceremony in Atlanta on January 13, 2016. Dr. Langdon was one of ten recipients to receive the award this year.

Dr. Langdon is a medical oncologist at Nebraska Cancer Specialists with offices at Nebraska Methodist Hospital and CHI Health in Omaha, NE. His current involvement with the American Cancer Society has him leading the Campaign Committee for the Hope Lodge Nebraska Project (hopelodgenebraska.org), a program provides free overnight lodging to cancer patients and their caregivers who must travel away from home for treatment.
