Your gateway to Cancer information, prevention, treatment and support at work.
What is Work Stride?
Work Stride, developed by Johns Hopkins Medicine, is a free service that GoMD offers which provides information and the support of an oncology nurse navigator to help employees, dependents, caregivers and managers understand and navigate the cancer journey. This keeps everyone who has access informed, engaged and feeling supported.
