In this session, attendees will hear from Jennifer Malinowki, MS, PhD, and Rebecca (Becki) Hulinsky, MS, CGC, as they delve into the transformative potential of Cell and Gene Therapies (CGTs). These therapies are reshaping the healthcare landscape with their targeted approach to treating diseases, improving health outcomes, and in certain cases, offering cures.  The session will highlight the benefits of including CGT coverage in employer health plans. Such inclusion can serve as a significant benefit, attracting and retaining top talent while promoting better health outcomes for employees. CGTs are distinct from traditional therapies as they address diseases at their genetic or cellular level, rather than merely managing symptoms. By modifying a patient's cells or genes, these therapies can potentially cure or significantly alleviate certain conditions, offering hope to patients who were previously without effective treatment options. Of course, the introduction of CGTs into the healthcare landscape is not without its challenges. These primarily revolve around manufacturing complexities and ensuring accessibility for all who could benefit from them. Employers can play a pivotal role in making these innovative therapies more accessible and available. Join us as we delve into the groundbreaking world of CGTs, explore the patient experience, and discuss the essential role of employers in this new healthcare landscape.
