Know Your Lemons at Work Program for Cigna-Insured Companies
Not a Cigna-insured company? Go here.
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 many people don’t know 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.

We provide everything you need to promote and run the program. You designate a company representative who will manage it. This is often someone who delivers health or employee educational programs at your company.
-
Once you have enrolled and paid the fee, you will receive an email with instructions for setting up the program. It's as easy as that!
-
You insure your employees as well as their families. By limiting the program just to the women you employ, you are missing a significant number of those you insure. By including all employees in this engaging program, you support your employees to help improve the health of themselves as well as their families.
The way the program educates is quite unique, in that it doesn't show breasts and works for any gender as it uses lemons to educate.
While men can get breast cancer, it's also about strengthening health discussions at home. When men are involved the impact for saving lives grows substantially.
