Position Overview

DetecTogether is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping people find cancer earlier, when treatment options are often greater and outcomes better. We equip individuals with practical tools and confidence to recognize early warning signs of cancer and other serious health issues, take timely action, and partner effectively with healthcare providers, because most cancers are not detected through routine screenings and often depend on individuals recognizing changes in their health and seeking care. Through our evidence-informed 3 Steps Detect® education, we are changing the way people think about early detection and helping people become active participants in protecting their own health.
