Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University announced today that Amelia (Amy) Langston, MD is the new medical director of the Winship Cancer Network. She will work with Vanessa Bramble, the network director, to build strategies and opportunities for community health care organizations in the region to collaborate with Winship.
