Melissa Shares How Employers Have Made Her Cancer Battle Easier (VIDEO)

Melissa:

But, more than that, from a mental standpoint, they really have been absolutely supportive. Just knowing that they are there for me; knowing that while I am here in the hospital that they will still cover me at work, that they aren’t taking my accounts or anything like that while I am gone and, just knowing that my place will always still be there.

Human Resources department has been great, helping me along with insurance and some of those sticky types of things that aren’t always fun to deal with. So, I am very grateful that they have been supportive.
