    A Human-Centered, Expert-Guided Approach to Cancer Care

    The road to reintegration after cancer looks different for everyone, shaped by each person’s unique strengths, circumstances, and areas of need. The Cancer Care Compass program by Workplace Options was designed with this complexity in mind, delivering support that is deeply attuned to each individual. To achieve this, Cancer Care Coordinators are trained by experts in the fields of oncology and psychiatric rehabilitation to deliver care that is both clinically informed and personally empowering, helping people return to life and work with renewed confidence, clarity, and determination.  In this episode of Wellbeing at Work, Vice President and General Manager of Emerging Solutions Sarah Wood sits down with the experts leading the coordinator training, Dr. Veronica Carey and Dr. Deborah Mukherji, to explore what makes the Cancer Care Compass program so unique and the impact it's already having at work.
