Commentary: As a national employer with locations in many states, CBS has developed a corporate-wide cancer support program through its health plan administrator, United Healthcare. This program is designed to help any family touched by cancer and offers access to services through oncology nurses. These medical professionals provide overall assistance – from helping a patient find providers, to facilitating transmission of medical records, obtaining second opinions, gathering information about medications and their side effects, to educating families about how to talk with children about cancer and end-of-life care, among others.
