Standing Together: Illuminating the Path to Breast Cancer Victory Breast cancer, a formidable foe, impacts families worldwide, disregarding age, gender, or socioeconomic status. Yet, amidst fear and uncertainty, hope perseveres. Survivors' resilience, loved ones' unwavering support, and medical professionals' tireless efforts light the way to healing. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we reaffirm our commitment to education, early detection, and inclusive support. We honor the courage of those affected, acknowledging men's unique challenges. Together, we break stigmas, foster empathy, and empower survivors. By amplifying their voices, advocating accessible care, and funding research, we stride toward a future where no one faces breast cancer alone. #BreastCancerAwareness #UnitedForACure #HopeConquers #InclusiveSupport #MenGetBreastCancerToo #EarlyDetectionSaves #BreakTheSilence #EmpowerSurvivors

For years I've been contemplating how to improve navigation for cancer patients in order to unblock people from the barriers they face in achieving care. Now I'm thrilled to have started as Strategic Oncology Advisor at We Are Here, which uses an AI-driven platform to preemptively address the life challenges of cancer patients. The platform has supported 1,000+ cancer patients with an 86% one year retention rate. Tailored support increases drug access and adherence, reduces clinical trial dropouts, and reduces surgery cancellations; driving significant healthcare revenue. Simultaneously, earlier access to care and adherence support improves outcomes and lowers cost of care. Despite 650,000+ cancer products, community resources and non-profits, 74% of adults with cancer skip or delay care, 37% can't afford their medication, and 71% of clinical trial participants struggle with travel, housing and food expenses. We Are Here matches patients to resources. The AI identifies and predicts resources to streamline access to thousands of options. This improves patient experience and outcomes while maximizing revenue for pharma and hospital systems. Excited to be on this journey to improve cancer care in the US along with the leadership at We Are Here Carolyn Treviño Jenkins Shea Mencel Alex Grishaver Chandra Ilindra

Early detection is our strongest ally, increasing the chances of effective treatment and better outcomes.

Small steps toward awareness create big waves of change. 💖 #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #WellnessJourney #scientexconferences
