After an incredible 7 years @flatironhealth and 22 years in practice I couldn't be more excited to be joining my friend @rsboon and the amazing team at @thymecares
A better cancer journey for all. https://t.co/mrd6BpuwCd
A guest essay co-authored by @PennCancer's Dr. @ramsedhom offers several “commonsense interventions’” to optimize cancer care for older patients, such as whole-patient assessment, proactive monitoring, dose adjustment, & palliative care. @ASCOPost#GeriOnc https://t.co/HQetDqO1Ee
"Imagine walking into a fancy restaurant only to find a menu consisting mostly of kids’ dishes. It would make no sense. Just 25% of restaurant diners are younger than age 12, and they rarely write Yelp reviews.
But when it comes to cancer treatment, this is not very far from what we do. The median age for a new cancer diagnosis is 67,1 and among those who die of cancer each year, 73% are older adults. Yet just one in four clinical trial participants is aged 70 or older."
Thank you @ASCOPost@smlichtman_md for publishing a piece close to my heart #GeriOnc https://t.co/q8pHPqj61e
Someone please run an RCT with a primary outcome of OS

Let’s do better for our patients & stop pretending we are helping with “advances” like this
@mustbemarisa87 caught the football that bounced under the net in the open end zone after an extra point. ran with it until I got ejected :). fortunately was near end of game.
We are horrified and deeply saddened by the terrorist attacks against Israel and its people. The violence, devastation and terror are unfathomable. Supporting our team, our founders and their employees in the region is currently our top priority.
We condemn the violence and terrorism against the Israeli people and stand in broad support of Israel and our friends, colleagues, and partners in the country.
— The Partners of Bessemer Venture Partners
In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence…
But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival…
Thanks @FierceHealth for highlighting @ThymeCares exciting partnership with @AONcologyLLC to help drive success in EOM. American Oncology Network joins new alternative payment model, taps Thyme Care as partner https://t.co/m3AvDUhLJs
Please join us in formally welcoming Dr. @SamyuktaMD to the team as medical oncology director. Sam comes to us from @MSKCancerCenter and we are thrilled to have her! https://t.co/uwnsG9pMQC
Very cool announcement from the Thyme Care team:
They're partnering with AON, which will leverage Thyme's model & stack to participate in the Enhanced Oncology Model.
"AON will partner with Thyme Care to reduce the total cost and improve the quality of care for AON patients.
Thyme Care is a leading value-based cancer care partner, providing comprehensive cancer care support and navigation beyond the clinic for AON patients.
As part of the partnership, Thyme Care will facilitate AON’s cancer clinics located across the country to participate in the EOM."

Finally found time to read the lovely @AmericaRamble and am grateful that @NKingofDC achieved what he beautifully refers to as his “clearing” from cancer so that he was able to tell this story.
Way to talk in generalities Joe. Not saying there aren't a lot of fucked up things about pharma. That's why we created https://t.co/39PNLwZeYs. But to ignore that the same industry has saved who knows how many lives is bullshit and you know it.
It's also disrespectful to all the doctors, researchers and medical professionals that dedicate their lives to saving lives, like Dr Hotez and the 800k plus doctors in the country that believe vaccines save lives
You arent trying to find the ground truth on vaccines. If you were you would bring on someone who focused on debating the issue. Like @thereal_truther .
Trying to bully Dr Hotez is ridiculous. You have producers that will prepare you and you get to control the conversation.
@RobertKennedyJr also has a staff ready to prepare him, and these topics are what he talks about in every speech.
You both do this on a daily basis Dr Hotez works every day to try to find ways to help people.
Joe , you and @elonmusk's @twitter are the mainstream online media and your platforms have become everything supposedly wrong with MSM. You are driven by self interest. Just like the MSM always has been accused of.
And you both have earned that right. You busted your asses to be great at what you do and earned all you have accomplished.
But don't lie to yourselves and all of us and tell us you are different. You aren't.
While amazed at scientific advances @ASCO, returning to clinic was a humbling reminder that pts still suffer from:
--inability to afford care
--transportation needs
--polypharmacy
--unaddressed pain
--navigation
--poor communication
We need to raise the ceiling AND the floor
#ASCO23
Here is the picture behind the picture.
Brilliant, empathic, kind, genuine. A true visionary leader.
Congratulations @lynn_schuchter on starting your presidency - @ASCO and we are so lucky to have you. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@CliffordHudis@BurrisSkip@eevokes
The insanity of cancer patients being unable to access treatment because of preventable reasons is one of the reasons we started @ThymeCares. Today, we’re excited to join #CancerX as a founding member to support #CancerMoonshot. Thank you @modrnhealthcr https://t.co/ihUjWKMCDW
Big News! @ThymeCares has joined #CancerX, the public-private initiative to support The White House #CancerMoonshot, as a founding member. We believe #CareNavigation is critical to ensure #HealthEquity and reduce barriers to care.

We are so lucky to have @lynn_schuchter as our incoming president @ASCO
We talk daily of equity & inclusion. How lovely that her theme includes all the people who will not be cured of their disease and their grieving caregivers
