We partner with businesses that prioritize supporting survivors and caretakers through the cancer journey and offer various opportunities to get involved, including sponsoring our events and programs.
Did you know?
As of January 2022, it is estimated that there are 18.1 million cancer survivors in the United States. This represents approximately 5.4% of the population. The number of cancer survivors is projected to increase by 24.4%, to 22.5 million, by 2032.
The US has the highest 5-year cancer survival rate in the world.
Cancer survivors struggle physically, mentally and emotionally long after treatment.
Many cancer survivors end up leaving their jobs, not because of cancer but from the lack of understanding and support they receive from their employers.
Employees who come to work with known medical conditions and who are not fully present cost employers more than $150 billion a year in the United States.
What If?
You could offer a comprehensive cancer support network for your employees.

Final words
We understand that a cancer diagnosis can change the dynamics of the employer/employee relationship. That's why we offer cancer support and wellness programs not just for employees, but also for the company through workshops and seminars. While employers and their associated health plans provide for cancer treatment, our comprehensive support services help employees navigate the mental, physical, and emotional challenges of returning to work after a cancer diagnosis.
