Working With Cancer: the Impacts of Accessibility & Inclusion

Fifty percent of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives, and emerging research suggests that a supportive work environment improves health outcomes for people dealing with a serious illness or condition. Drawing on her personal experience with a stage IV cancer diagnosis in 2022, Phoebe Johnson will discuss the impacts an inclusive, equitable, and accessible work environment has had on her health and treatment journey.

Johnson, a senior director of information technology at the University of Minnesota, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in August 2022. She is interested in the ways an intentionally inclusive and accessible workplace can make a difference in the well-being and health of employees.
