ABOUT US
Tricia’s leadership is trailblazing change, redefining how individuals participate in their own early cancer detection. She isn’t just driving innovation—she’s leading a national, patient-powered movement that’s transforming how and when people seek care, improving health outcomes nationwide.
DetecTogether is a nonprofit that fills a gap in healthcare by providing a lifesaving 3 Steps Detect® early cancer detection education program to young adults, first responders and workplace employees. 50% of cancers are diagnosed in late stage, often leading to less favorable outcomes and more aggressive treatments. Our mission helps reduce delays in diagnosis to significantly increase survival. Early cancer detection is an advantage everybody deserves. Together, we are reducing the devasting impact of cancer.
