Morgan Fitzsimons, Perci Health: giving those affected by cancer the support they need
Morgan Fitzsimons is the Co-Founder and CXO of Perci Health.
One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer, that’s a scary thought. The good news is that with advances in diagnosis and treatment, more people are surviving from, and living longer with cancer.
But this puts a different strain on the healthcare system where the NHS and charitable sector are not equipped to deal with the growing number of people that need specialist post-treatment support which means most are left alone to try and get their life back on track.
Enter Perci Health. Perci have the largest network of cancer experts in the UK. Perci assign each person with their own specialist cancer nurse to build a personalised care plan and ensure they get the support they need to improve their quality of life.
