From its North American headquarters in Newtown Square, SAP is not only fueling Vice President Joe Biden’s Cancer Moonshot, but also providing the corporate world with an excellent model for employee cancer support.

The software developer is leading the way in “how innovative companies, led by compassionate executives, embrace the health and wellbeing of their employees, especially those with an often terminal disease like cancer,” lung cancer activist Bonnie J. Addario writes in The Huffington Post.

Through its Corporate Oncology Program for Employees, SAP provides “a diagnosis and treatment map that provides physicians with the recommended care options if staff are diagnosed with cancer or another deadly disease.”

That pioneering commitment stems from the personal experience of CEO Bill McDermott.

“His wife survived a bout with breast cancer, but his mother died at an early age from pancreatic cancer,” Addario wrote. “So he values the importance of research and treatment — and along with SAP’s chief operating officer, Richard Knowles, is personally committed to fighting cancer in the workplace and beyond.”

The policy places employees’ hopes in the practice of precision medicine: treatment that’s patient-centric and mindful of the right-fitting drug at the right time.
