Working with Employers
Lifesaving cancer care that supports the ‘financial health’ of both the employee and the company.
Affordable Care
Employers who choose to partner with New England Cancer Specialists (NECS) for their employees’ oncology care can expect a multitude of benefits that prioritize both health and financial well-being. NECS offers high-quality care at a more affordable price when compared to traditional hospital health systems, making it an attractive option for employers seeking to manage healthcare costs without compromising on quality.
Early Detection Saves Lives
Early detection and intervention are crucial in the fight against cancer, not only for improving outcomes but also for reducing overall costs. NECS emphasizes the importance of early detection and proactive treatment, recognizing that catching cancer early not only significantly reduces costs but also creates the best opportunity for a more positive outcome. By partnering with NECS, employers can ensure that their employees receive timely and effective care that maximizes the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
