managing the cancer expierence

90 Years of Trust


The journey through cancer treatment can be long and difficult. Cancer patients and families need information and inspiration for living with cancer. By calling the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 or by logging on to www.cancer.org, we can help guide your employees through their cancer experience.

Reduce the Impact of Cancer

There is nothing more valuable to your business than the people who make it work. Unfortunately, cancer will touch more than 40 percent of Americans in their lifetime and has a major impact on the workforce. The estimated total cost of cancer is more than $180 billion per year in health care expenses and lost productivity. Patient Navigation programs help guide employees and their families through the cancer experience and can help minimize the impact of cancer on your company.

Boost Employee Morale

Providing Patient Navigation programs and services from the American Cancer Society helps build employee goodwill while contributing to your employees work life balance.  People prefer to work for companies that are good corporate citizens, are responsive to company actions, and that demonstrate caring and commitment to the personal needs of employees.

Offer Patient Navigation in your company to help minimize the impact of cancer on your people and your business.
