Early Detection: A Matter of Life and Debt

Let’s face it—healthcare can feel like an uphill battle. Long waits, confusing bills, and disappointing experiences make it easy to put off taking action. But when it comes to serious health conditions, waiting can cost more than just time. That’s why early detection isn’t just a health strategy—it’s a financial lifeline and a crucial part of what’s called value-based care (VBC).

LEARN WHY

Annual Report 2023

DetecTogether’s mission is critical: teaching people the first step to beating cancer, how to spot the subtle early cancer warning signs and providing a roadmap for timely, life-saving healthcare. It is a critical skill that everyone needs to learn. Early detection saves lives, reduces medical costs, and leads to the best possible outcomes.

Our work is fueled by the trust and generosity of donors, partners, and cancer survivors who support the life-saving impact of 3 Steps Detect. Together, we’re helping individuals take control of their health and equipping communities with the knowledge to save lives.

REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT

Ambassador of the Month: Nick Sprague!

Nickolaus Sprague is the true definition of selflessness and bravery. Not only is he a firefighter and critical care paramedic, but he's also sharing his personal cancer journey to help others recognize the early warning signs of cancer and their critical role in detecting cancer. He knows firsthand that Response Time Matters. Nick learned about our 3 Steps Detect too late, after his colon cancer diagnosis, but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming a passionate ambassador for DetecTogether.
