Osara Health Celebrates a Decade of Impact in Cancer Care
Osara Health, recognized for its commitment to enhancing the overall experience of cancer care, proudly marks its 10th anniversary this year. Founded in 2016, the organization has evolved significantly, making strides in how cancer support is delivered and experienced. To commemorate this important milestone, Osara Health has launched its Global Cancer Support Declaration, aimed at fostering comprehensive support for those living with and beyond cancer. This initiative has already garnered signatures from 527 healthcare professionals across the globe, with a goal of reaching 2,000 by the end of the year.
As the landscape of cancer care continues to change, with 45% of diagnoses occurring during working years, the importance of addressing the accompanying challenges has never been more critical. Osara Health's programs are currently benefitting more than 11 million individuals in collaboration with leading insurers and employers in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Their efforts are underscored by over 11 peer-reviewed studies validating the effectiveness of their unique approach, which combines evidence-based behavior change science with personalized human coaching.
Dr. Raghav Murali-Ganesh, the CEO and Co-Founder of Osara Health, expressed his vision for the company, stating, “As an oncologist, I witnessed firsthand how people would return home post-treatment, often feeling overwhelmed by fear, fatigue, and family pressures—the emotional and psychological side-effects often being overlooked. Osara Health was founded to bridge this gap, recognizing the importance of supporting individuals' emotional health, functionality, and well-being after a cancer diagnosis.” He emphasized that the participation of international colleagues in signing the Global Declaration reflects a shared belief in the need for holistic care throughout the cancer journey.
Tim Atkins, the Co-Founder and COO of Osara Health, added, “While we started with a focused app, our journey has shown us a vital lesson: individuals benefit immensely when they have someone advocating for them between medical appointments.” This initiative is not merely a call to action; it seeks to redefine the standard of care across the world, reinforcing the notion that emotional and mental support should be integral to cancer treatment.
Osara Health has released a special publication, titled “10 Years Supporting the Human Side of Cancer,” available on their website. This commemorative piece comes as a reflection of their journey and a plan for the future, involving not only healthcare professionals but also patients and their families.
Looking forward, Osara Health aims to extend its influence and resources, ensuring that no individual faces the challenges of cancer alone. Their commitment to enhancing partnership with global healthcare providers and the expansion of their programs is paramount, particularly as survival rates improve and more individuals navigate life after a cancer diagnosis.
In conclusion, Osara Health's dedication to revolutionizing cancer care over the past decade serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for support that extends beyond treatment. Their Global Cancer Support Declaration is a pivotal step toward making comprehensive support an expected standard in cancer care, encouraging a more empathetic approach to one of life’s most challenging experiences.
