Upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, the first priority is to build a clinical treatment plan. But there is another equally important step in the path to recovery and well-being — supportive care.

In this episode, Les Biller from the Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation describes the services that encompass supportive cancer care and shares how they can improve quality of life for both patients and caregivers. Individuals who are provided with proactive support can better navigate their cancer journey and remain more productive at work, improving overall health and well-being for patients and reducing costs to the employer.
