Triage Cancer: Empowering Individuals with Cancer through Education
Cancer is a life-changing diagnosis that affects not only the individual diagnosed but also their loved ones. It can be overwhelming to navigate the practical and legal issues that come with a cancer diagnosis, from managing medical bills to understanding employment rights. That's where Triage Cancer comes in - a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing education on practical and legal issues for individuals with cancer, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Founded in 2012 by Monica Fawzy Bryant, Esq., Triage Cancer has become a trusted resource for those affected by cancer. The organization offers free educational events, webinars, and conferences across the country to help individuals understand their rights and options when it comes to managing their cancer journey.
One of Triage Cancer's primary goals is to empower individuals with knowledge so they can make informed decisions about their care. The organization provides resources on topics such as health insurance coverage, financial assistance programs, employment rights during treatment or recovery periods, estate planning considerations for those living with advanced illness or disability status.
Triage Cancer also recognizes the importance of supporting caregivers who play an essential role in helping patients manage their care. The organization offers resources on caregiver burnout prevention strategies as well as tips for navigating difficult conversations about end-of-life care.
In addition to its focus on patient education and support services, Triage Cancer also works closely with healthcare professionals across the country. Through its Healthcare Professional Education Program (HPEP), Triage Cancer provides training opportunities for doctors, nurses, social workers and other healthcare providers so they can better serve patients facing complex legal issues related to cancer treatment.
Triage Cancer's commitment to education extends beyond traditional classroom settings; it has developed an extensive online resource library that includes articles written by experts in various fields related to oncology care management. These resources are available free of charge through its website triagecancer.org.
The impact of Triage Cancer's work is evident in the testimonials of those who have benefited from its services. One patient shared, "Triage Cancer helped me understand my rights as a cancer patient and gave me the tools to advocate for myself during treatment." Another caregiver expressed gratitude for the organization's support, saying, "I felt so alone before I found Triage Cancer. Their resources helped me feel more confident in my role as a caregiver."
In conclusion, Triage Cancer is an invaluable resource for anyone affected by cancer.
