We understand that everyone learns differently, and that’s why we’ve created an extensive library of FREE cancer-related educational videos – perfect for visual learners. Each animated video is about five minutes long and puts complicated topics like health insurance, medical bills, rights at work, and much more, into terms you can understand. These videos are a great tool if you are newly diagnosed, or not sure where to begin.

Videos are available in English, Spanish, and Japanese.

While these videos are designed specifically for individuals diagnosed with cancer, caregivers, and oncology health care professionals, they are a useful tool for anyone with a serious medical condition, or really anyone at all.

Health Insurance Animated Video Series

We often joke that “How to Pick a Health Insurance Plan” should be taught in every high school. Since it’s not, this series will explain the terms you need to understand before picking a plan, how to pick a plan that saves you money and meets your needs, what to do if you lose your insurance at work, and what to do when an insurance company denies covering your care. This series won a Digital Health Award in 2021.
