For years, employers have relied on a patchwork of cancer solutions: Second opinions, Centers of Excellence, navigation vendors, and plan design tweaks. Each serves a purpose. But in today’s high-cost, complex environment, none of them are moving the needle fast enough or far enough on their own.
Cancer is still the #1 cost driver in many employer populations. Diagnostic delays stretch for 6+ months on average. And while treatment advances, access lags. The result: Rising costs, avoidable hospitalizations, and worse outcomes.
In this session, Noora Garnett, Head of Global Benefits at Hasbro, will engage in a candid conversation with Color’s leadership on how employers are rethinking cancer care: What’s worked, where it’s broken, and what’s needed next.
You’ll walk away with a clear view of:
- The four legacy models employers still rely on, and why they’re no longer enough
- The hidden costs of fragmentation and diagnostic delays
- What defines next-generation cancer care: is oncologist-led, provides direct clinical care, and acts across the entire cancer journey
- Why access, speed, and direct clinical care are not operational perks, but strategic levers
