Welcome to DetecTogether
Worcester Business Journal’s Healthcare Innovator of the Year — Trailblazing a national, patient-powered movement for early cancer detection and saving lives.
ABOUT US
Tricia Laursen, Detectogether's President and Executive Director, leading the movement toward earlier action and better outcomes.
DetecTogether fills a critical healthcare gap by teaching young adults, first responders, and workplace employees the lifesaving 3 Steps Detect® skills to recognize cancer warning signs and seek care sooner. Yet 50% of cancers are still diagnosed at a late stage—when outcomes are often worse and treatment is more aggressive. Our mission is to save lives by teaching people how to detect cancer early and be active partners in their healthcare. Early cancer detection is an advantage everybody deserves—and together, we’re reducing the devastating impact of late detection.
