1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, but you can do something about it.
The Know Your Lemons at Work program promotes early detection through self-exam and mammograms to save lives and reduce costly treatment every year.
Breast cancer impacts the whole family.
This program is not just designed for women, or even just to benefit your employees. It’s for your whole workforce, and for the broader community, too!
Breast cancer has an excellent survival rate when found early
BUT
Many people don’t know how to improve early detection
Breast cancer can make an impact on the business aspects of a company, in healthcare costs and lost work time every year.
On average, 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
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:

Kick off the program with an engaging webinar that teaches employees how to detect breast cancer early and introduces your company’s screening challenge. We’ll lead the webinar and provide you with email templates and fun images to get employees excited!
-
Employees use a unique company code to access the Workplace Benefits section of the app. Here you can track your progress toward your company's screening and early detection goals. You can also access tools to help with diagnosis.

It can be overwhelming to get a breast cancer diagnosis. The Dandelion Toolkit helps newly-diagnosed patients understand their diagnosis, explain it to family and friends, and communicate with their healthcare team.
