The Greater Philadelphia Business Coalition on Health is excited to share that the second series in our Coalition Conversations podcast is now live! In the fifth episode of our second series on Oncology, GPBCH’s Tom Belmont has a conversation with Patrick Delaney, Executive Director of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Foundation, and Aileen Espiritu, Benefits Manager at Essity. Pat and Aileen discuss why employers should use public, evidence‑based oncology resources, such as the NCCN Guidelines, to help employees understand cancer prevention, treatment, and what to expect throughout a cancer journey. Oncology impacts employers both in direct and indirect ways including healthcare costs, lost productivity, and workplace disruption, so providing clear, trustworthy, health-literate information is essential. They highlight the importance of meeting patients and employees where they are, offering materials they can understand, and supporting them from prevention through diagnosis and treatment. Listen to hear how Pat & Aileen have collaborated in the past and how useful the NCCN guidelines were for Aileen both professionally and personally.
