Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Color’s Directors of Strategic Partnerships, Sophie Prach and Kevin Ige. Sophie and Kevin discussed transforming employers’ approach to cancer care through early detection, optimized treatment, and effective employee support, all while reducing costs for your clients. They delved into Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic, a comprehensive, end-to-end cancer care program created in partnership with the American Cancer Society.
Until there’s a cure for cancer, we need to improve the current system
Cancer incidence is rising across the globe. Every year, one in two Americans is diagnosed, and early onset cancer rates are projected to increase 31% by 2030. Moreover, cancer continues to hold steady as your clients’ top expense, with treatment costs rising at 8.5% year over year. The urgency to adopt a proactive and strategic cancer approach has never been more apparent.
Your clients have traditionally focused more on the aftermath of a diagnosis, but to effectively control the impact of cancer, employers need to shift their strategy. Key to this approach is combining early and rapid detection and diagnosis of cancer with effective care and support of employees undergoing treatment as well as those in remission.
