Cancer Connect

Support employees through cancer, at every stage

Cancer impacts emotional health as much as physical health. Color Cancer Connect provides peer-led support to reduce isolation, build resilience, and help employees stay engaged at work and in life.

Build resiliency in the face of cancer

Cancer brings emotional and practical strain into everyday life for people in treatment, caregiving, or survivorship. Without peer-led support, people often feel isolated and unsure where to turn, and managers and ERGs want to help but lack the right structure. This strain affects recovery, relationships, and work. Supporting these needs helps people feel understood, rebuild confidence, and re-engage with both life and work after cancer.

Wraparound care that complements clinical care

Cancer Connect offers peer-led, evidence-based meetings that employees can join anytime. The program provides practical tools people can use in real moments, across treatment, survivorship, and caregiving.

Practical mental health tools people can use every day

Cancer Connect offers peer-led, skills-based sessions guided by cancer survivors and caregivers. Employees can join weekly virtual meetings at any time, gaining practical tools designed specifically for patients, survivors, and caregivers.

Mental health

Coping skills that last

Structured topics help people manage fear, uncertainty, stress, and physical symptoms. Sessions focus on thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and self-care, building resilience, connection, and self-compassion over time.

Coping skills

Reduced isolation through shared experience

Peer connection with others who truly understand helps people feel less alone and more engaged. Ongoing support is available throughout treatment, survivorship, and caregiving, creating a space that normalizes challenges and reduces stigma.

Reduce isolation
Patient Story

Closing survivorship gaps

A patient treated with chemotherapy and radiation for Hodgkin lymphoma in her 20s had not received specialized follow-up care after treatment. Years later, she carried ongoing fear and uncertainty about long-term health risks related to prior cancer treatment, without clear guidance on screening or prevention.

After enrolling in Color, survivorship care shifted from uncertainty to a clear, clinician-led plan focused on long-term health and risk management.


Color isn’t like the traditional model. We take action.

  • Survivorship oncologist identified elevated long-term cancer and cardiac risk from prior treatment

  • High-risk screening ordered and clinically managed, including breast MRI, cardiac evaluation, and thyroid imaging and labs

  • Post-treatment infection risk reduced by identifying and closing immunization gaps after splenectomy

Patient Story

Supporting a caregiver

A caregiver enrolled in Color to support her mother while managing work disruption and benefits complexity. After her mother passed away, she became increasingly concerned about her own breast cancer risk while coping with grief, health anxiety, and uncertainty about next steps.

Through Color, caregiving support and cancer risk management were addressed together, providing clarity and continuity during a difficult year.


Color isn’t like the traditional model. We take action.

  • Peer-led Cancer Connect support provided during caregiving and grief, with 18 structured sessions completed

  • High-risk breast screening protocol initiated, including breast MRI and end-to-end imaging coordination

  • Small breast mass identified and a six-month follow-up plan established through ongoing clinical care
