Color Health is revolutionizing cancer care with the nation's first Virtual Cancer Clinic, delivering high-quality, physician-led multidisciplinary care across all 50 states. Our innovative, guideline-based approach spans the full continuum of care- cancer screening, risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, treatment support, and survivorship. We combine personalized medical care with services such as genetic risk assessment, nutrition counseling, mental health support, and at-home cancer screening. By partnering with employers, unions, health plans, and governments, Color is closing critical care gaps, improving outcomes, and guiding patients with empathy through their healthcare journeys.
In June 2023, Color partnered with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to launch a cancer screening and prevention program for employers and labor organizations, combining the ACS's expertise in cancer screening, prevention, and risk reduction with Color's leadership in population-scale healthcare delivery. The program has since expanded to include diagnosis management, active treatment support, and survivorship. Through our Virtual Cancer Clinic, Color helps people detect cancer earlier, navigate diagnosis with speed and compassion, support survivors through complex clinical and return-to-work needs, and monitor late effects with a focus on closing the gaps in cancer care.
