Patient Power reaches more than 300,000 cancer patients monthly via social media.
Patient Power® is devoted to supporting cancer patients, care partners, and other loved ones through education and advocacy – to get the right treatment at the right time working with the right healthcare team. Patient Power offers an ever-expanding library of online programs, organized by health condition.
By attending medical conferences around the world and affiliating with centers of medical excellence globally, Patient Power interviews top medical experts, researchers, dedicated advocates and inspiring, knowledgeable patients. Other timely information is presented at in-person Town Meetings – streamed on line for maximum reach; through online “Patient Cafes” where more intimate discussions are moderated among patients and care partners; via regular e-newsletters distributed to members to highlight most recent content by health condition; and through multiple social media channels.
Our team is committed to helping each person we touch to approach their illness in a way that gives them the best chance of regaining and maintaining good health – by fully understanding their diagnosis, seeking the best healthcare specialists, getting second and even third opinions on what medical approach to take, and, if appropriate, consider participating in a clinical trial.
PatientPower serves the whole patient and caregiver dealing with cancer. We produce live and on-demand videos with experts who discuss everything from diagnosis, treatment, and research to access and financial issues, diet, exercise, mindfulness and even family communications and sex.
