DetecTogether – How We Save Lives through Early Cancer Detection
DetecTogether, a non-profit education and advocacy organization based in Westborough, Mass., was founded by Jim and Nancy Coghlin and their family to fill a gap in early cancer detection: the patient’s role.
Early detection includes screening and knowing how to respond to health changes. DetecTogether teaches people the skills to notice meaningful health changes, when to seek care, and how to work effectively with a healthcare provider. Recognizing early warning signs and activating healthcare is crucial for better health outcomes.
Now in its second decade, DetecTogether’s mission is to saves lives by teaching people the skills to recognize cancer signs early and be active partners in their healthcare. Our vision is of a world where people understand their role in early cancer detection and work confidently with healthcare providers to benefit from the lifesaving advantage of earlier diagnosis and better health outcomes.
DetecTogether collaborates with doctors and clinical experts to continually advance 3 Steps Detect®—equipping first responders, young adults, workplaces and communities with practical, lifesaving skills to recognize meaningful health changes, take timely action, and work effectively with healthcare providers.
If it is to be, it is up to me. Early detection starts with you.
