| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: | Backed by modern science, integrative therapies are shown to support patients' ability to adhere to their medical treatment plans and improve their quality of life. These therapies must be accessible to all. Unite for HER answers that call, where our participants report a reduction in side effects from medical treatments, better adherence to treatments, a reduction in stress, and an improvement in emotional well-being. In January 2024, Unite for HER established a strategic partnership with TOUCH, the Black Breast Cancer Alliance, to bring integrative services to their pre-emptive breast cancer clinical trial recruitment and retention program. Unite for HER and TOUCH announced a strategic alliance to increase the quality of care for Black women in cancer clinical trials, with the goal of providing 24/7 nurse navigation support along with integrative care. This initiative aims to help Black women achieve better outcomes and address health equity gaps. Unite for HER also reported impactful outcomes in FY 2023 from our Project LIFT program, where Gilead invested in supporting 550 Black breast cancer patients newly diagnosed, living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), or triple-negative breast cancer. Key findings include: 93% reported improved quality of life, 91% reported improvement in making healthier food choices, 86% reported increased exercise or movement, and 84% reported improved coping with stress through learned tools. We had the privilege of partnering once again with the Cancer Support Community and were granted the opportunity to present an abstract and poster at the December 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Our presentation focused on the impact of professional support for eating and nutrition among women with breast cancer. According to the PROMIS score, lack of nutrition increased anxiety, depression, pain interference, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Unite for HER was named as an organization that provides professional nutrition support free of charge, addressing unmet critical needs to improve health and wellness for people with breast cancer. We continue to expand, offering integrative care support and therapies through our Wellness Passport Program to 5,530 members across the nation, both in person and virtually, or delivered directly to their homes. Due to high demand, we developed and launched am additional wellness program called the Empowered Living Program. This ensures no one is left behind, regardless of stage or diagnosis date. Members join our robust virtual community and receive a care box at home, providing information and education on integrative care. This program allowed Unite for HER to expand greatly, as all costs are absorbed through paid professional staff in-house. This year, we served 1,016 people in the Empowered Living Program, bringing the total served to 6,549. We continue to learn from the pandemic, empowering the vulnerable community we serve. Linking arms nationwide with organizations and corporations that share our goal of bridging health equity gaps has allowed us to make a significant impact in underserved, underrepresented, and undersupported communities. Our national presence prioritizes providing critical access to integrative therapies for women of color, knowing that the mortality rate for Black women is 41% higher than that of white women. We have become a trusted resource for resolving health inequities, with partners committed to our mission. Currently, 54% of the members we serve are from underrepresented and underserved communities. We executed 61 virtual wellness conferences and programs across all 50 states, including four Spanish-only wellness events and two in-person survivorship events for our alumni community. These programs help participants understand how to use their Wellness Passports for treatments and services, empowering them to regain control in a situation where they may feel they've lost control. This year, we served 167 Spanish-speaking members, an increase of 107% from last year, emphasizing the need for Spanish-speaking-only programs. We established new digital resources, such as live and recorded Spanish cooking demonstrations, presentations on managing GI issues in Spanish ("Potty Talk"), fitness memberships with a Spanish provider, meditation videos, and Spanish-facilitated support groups. Unite for HER's unique wellness program and online community educate newly diagnosed breast and ovarian cancer patients, as well as those living with metastatic breast cancer, about how integrative therapies such as medical acupuncture, oncology massage, reiki, yoga, fresh vegetable shares, meal delivery service, meditation, exercise, professional counseling, and whole food nutrition counseling can provide relief from the side effects and symptoms of traditional medical treatments. This year, Unite for HER delivered 25,979 one-on-one private integrative therapy sessions, both virtually and in person. We also empower our community with the HER Speaker Series, virtual hangouts, and the "Ask the Expert" education series, producing 44 virtual events. Our objective is to bring awareness, understanding, and inspiration to patients on critical subjects, enabling them to become empowered in their own care and lead discussions with their healthcare providers. Our members report being able to self-advocate because of this online community. Each month, we feature key experts who create a community of hope, trust, and empowerment. Keeping the patient voice front and center is vital to Unite for HER, ensuring we meet the community where they are. We experienced significant engagement this year, with a 40% increase in the total reach of educational content and a 146% increase in average video reach. All of this can be found in our newly designed HER Library for ease of access. One way we hear our patient voice is through surveying our community, allowing us to expand in areas of greatest need by adding partners that help support nutritional needs. Our dedicated focus on underserved communities has shown that members effectively utilize their Wellness Passports to address food insecurity during cancer care. A meal delivery service prescription is one example, providing six weeks of fresh vegetables and meal delivery services nationwide. This, combined with our 48 live cooking webinars and demonstrations, grocery gift cards, and unlimited nutritional consultations, helps patients acquire new skills in the kitchen and find joy and friendship, while learning how food can be medicine. Our nutrition educational series has been valuable in providing professional support to our members. During our online cooking webinars, we debuted and produced 21 "Food for Thought" educational moments, now available in our library as a reference tool emphasizing the science behind food and its nourishment, empowering our patients. Our CEO and senior staff have had the honor of serving on several round tables, boards, and panels, sharing our findings on integrative care and working to help patients adhere to treatments. We continue to experience great growth, and with that comes great responsibility. We are honored to serve even more people in need with our unique and innovative programming across the nation. We have linked arms with extraordinary partners and corporations, all of whom are committed to making a difference in whole patient care. Our mission is to enrich the health and well-being of those diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancers, for life, by funding and delivering integrative therapies. |
