NeedyMeds and Triage Cancer: Considerations for Managing the Financial Impact of Cancer
February 28, 2023
In addition to the impact on your health, a cancer diagnosis can have a major impact on your wallet. Join Triage Cancer for an overview of options around work, disability insurance, and managing medical bills, to help you maximize income, while minimizing expenses.

Elephants and Tea Magazine Release: Houston
March 4, 2023
For the first time ever, Elephants and Tea will be launching our own in-person events, inviting our writers, our readers, and the AYA cancer community to connect, interact, and celebrate each other!
We will be hosting four events that correspond with each of our 2023 magazine issues. These events will take place in different parts of the country, to meet our herd where they are, and make it easier for survivors to connect with others in the AYA cancer community in a cost-effective way. At each party, we will partner with a local hospital or organization that serves the cancer community.
CURE: Educated Patient® Breast Cancer Summit

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: Who Knew There Would Be So Much Paperwork? Managing the Nitty Gritty of Cancer
March 25, 2023
When you receive a cancer diagnosis, there is so much on your mind. Although paperwork probably isn't the first thing you think about when you're diagnosed, it can suddenly feel like you need a personal assistant to manage it all. Forms, phone calls, insurance, FMLA, patient assistance, prior authorizations…it can all be incredibly overwhelming. Join us to learn tools, tricks, and resources that can help you get it all under control so you can focus on the most important thing: taking care of yourself or your loved one!
Join us for this free program and bring the friends and family that support you along the way. After the program, you can spend the day taking in the exhibits at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, on us!
Monica Bryant, Esq., will be Triage Cancer's speaker for this event.
NeedyMeds and Triage Cancer: Keep Calm & Carry Your Insurance Card
April 11, 2023
Join Triage Cancer for an overview of health insurance terms, key considerations when comparing plan options, and what to do when an insurance company denies a claim.
Amanda Goodstadt, Esq., will be Triage Cancer's speaker for this event.
