Real Talk on Cancer, A Special Webinar in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In a recent webinar, we shared an insightful conversation featuring Dr. Louise Short, National Clinical Leader at Brown & Brown, and Tricia Scannell Larsen, President & Executive Director of DetecTogether. They dove into the critical topic of cancer and the role of employers in its detection and prevention.

In case you missed it, the recording is available below.

  • The life-saving importance of early detection and the “2-week rule”
  • How individuals can advocate for their health
  • Ways to collaborate with healthcare providers

Opening and closing remarks were delivered by Abinue Fortingo, Principal and Population Health & Well-Being Consultant and Yolanda Williams, Clinical Consultant, who highlight why cancer is a growing concern for employers—both in terms of rising medical costs and indirect impacts like productivity loss. They also share actionable strategies using the ‘Prevent – Detect – Navigate -Support’ framework to help organizations manage cancer more effectively.
