Compassion Drives Innovation: Modern Approaches to Ensure Optimal Outcomes for Patients with Cancer

Kristine Flemister, President
Panelist: Kristine Flemister, PharmD, President of Xcenda 
 

There are more and better options to treat cancer today thanks to research and development of scientists, researchers and manufacturers. Yet, this level of innovation is costly and gaining access to new, specialty therapies is often obstructed by financial burden, confusing benefits design, delays in authorizations and complex treatment regimens.  All of these barriers play a pivotal role in preventing patients from realizing the true promise that emerging therapies can provide.
 

During this interactive panel discussion, leaders from Family Reach, Xcenda and Lash Group provide their collective expert insights on key strategies to break down barriers to innovative new, cancer treatments.
Kristine Flemister, President
