Know Your Lemons at Work Breast Screening Incentives and Educational Program
1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, but you can do something about it.
The Know Your Lemons at Work education program promotes early detection through self-exam and mammograms to save lives and reduce costly treatment every year.
Learn how the program works by watching the video below:
Breast cancer has an excellent survival rate when found early, but not everyone knows what they should be doing to improve early detection for themselves and those they care about.
Breast cancer can also make an impact on the business aspects of the company, in healthcare costs and lost work time every year.
Here are the average stats for a company insuring 10,000 women:*
1,250 will be diagnosed with breast cancer
625 will be diagnosed before age 64
16 will be diagnosed each year during a 40-year career (on average)
If just one person is diagnosed in stage 1 or 2 instead of 3 or 4, the survivorship increase is substantial! There is also a dramatic reduction in treatment costs:
Invest in improving the health of your employees and their families, and also discover savings in healthcare expenses and reduction in lost work time when you enroll in the Know Your Lemons at Work program.

It can be overwhelming to get a breast cancer diagnosis, emotionally as well as with all of the unfamiliar information and treatment options available. The Dandelion Toolkit helps newly diagnosed patients better communicate with their healthcare team, as well as explain their diagnosis to family members. This physical toolkit is free to request for anyone insured by your company, made available in the exclusive section of the app.
