DUARTE, Calif., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AccessHope, LLC, a company changing the way leading-edge cancer expertise is delivered, today announced it has been named to BenefitsPRO Luminaries Class of 2024 in the Rising Star category.

This recognition celebrates top professionals and organizations within the benefits industry that strive to transform and humanize the field and set a bright example within the business. The 2024 honorees were selected by a panel of industry experts based on how well they stated and achieved goals with regards to the nomination category; how impactful their work has been; how dedicated the nominee has been to furthering modernization and humanization in the healthcare business; and the nominee's commitment to the highest ethical standards, as well as dedication to service and excellence.

"Our 2024 honorees are leading examples of the progress our industry continues to make toward creating more equitable, affordable benefits and transparent, high-quality health care for millions of Americans," says BenefitsPRO Editor in Chief Paul Wilson. "BenefitsPRO is proud to once again shine a spotlight on thought leaders and innovators in our industry who are doing things the right way."

Research shows that cancer outcomes are dramatically better at National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, yet most people with cancer aren't treated there because of access and geographical barriers. AccessHope is disrupting the benefits industry by offering self-funded employers and their employees the first virtual cancer support benefit that connects employees with cancer and their treating oncologists to renowned expertise from NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, helping to identify the right treatment early on for the best outcomes possible. This remote model allows individuals and their families to receive support from the comfort of their own home, assisting all cancer types and stages.

"Employers are at a crossroads trying to manage the growing impact of cancer in the workplace. They're seeing a higher prevalence of diagnoses among their employees and their families, with cancer continuing to be the top driver of annual health spend," said Brad Kreick, AccessHope CEO. "Preventative screenings, early and accurate diagnoses, and timely access to top-quality expertise are critical for improving health outcomes and managing costs. AccessHope is proud to play a part in breaking down those barriers to care. We're honored to be recognized among such an esteemed group of individuals and organizations committed to supporting workers across the country."
