AccessHope
AccessHope is a Duarte, California-based health benefits company, founded as a wholly owned subsidiary of City of Hope, that remotely delivers leading cancer expertise from National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers to employers and their covered employees. Rather than asking patients to switch doctors or travel, AccessHope connects local treating oncologists with subspecialists from elite centers, providing peer-to-peer case reviews and evidence-based treatment recommendations so patients can get the best cancer knowledge anywhere - without leaving home.
