Health Media Network and Cancer Research Institute Team Up to Drive Education and Awareness about Cancer Immunotherapy and Clinical Trials

Health Media Network (HMN), a leading and trusted Digital Point of Care company, has teamed up with the Cancer Research Institute (CRI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving more lives by advancing scientific efforts to develop new and effective immunotherapies for all forms of cancer, to distribute CRI’s cancer immunotherapy and clinical trials education and awareness programming at the Point of Care.

Over the past six years, the FDA has approved immunotherapies as treatments for nearly 20 cancers including cancers with a specific genetic mutation. The field is advancing rapidly, and as immunotherapy becomes more widely available as a treatment option, the goal is to provide patients and their caregivers with information to help them make the most informed decisions with their oncologists in the most trusted Point of Care environment through Health Media Network.

“We are proud to partner with the Cancer Research Institute to increase awareness of immunotherapy and clinical trials,” said Christopher J. Culver, CEO of Health Media Network. “Leveraging Health Media Network’s Point of Care environment, where and when patients are actively engaged in HCP discussions and educating themselves on the various pathways available is an important step in making informed healthcare decisions.”

“Through our partnership with Health Media Network, the Cancer Research Institute is able to significantly expand its reach to deliver our expert-vetted information about immunotherapy to patients and caregivers who may be learning for the first time about this new approach to treating cancer and who would benefit from engaging their professional health care teams in conversation about their immunotherapy options,” said Jill O’Donnell-Tormey, PhD, CEO and director of scientific affairs at the Cancer Research Institute.
