Eisai's corporate philosophy reflects our commitment to business activities aiming to increase the benefits to patients, their families, and consumers, who we clearly recognize as key players in healthcare. This corporate philosophy is summarized by the term "hhc" (human health care). We believe that in order to truly consider the perspectives of patients and their families, it is important for each employee to first get close to patients and see the situation from their perspectives in order to learn to empathize with thoughts and feelings that might not necessarily always be expressed in words.

Approximately 80% of grant funding is focused on innovative programs that provide patient navigation/case management for screening and treatment, and support programs that provide crucial support services including transportation, financial assistance, meals for patients and their families, legal assistance and programs that eliminate barriers to clinical trials. Twenty percent of Komen Greater NYC’s programs fund education and outreach programs that directly link women to screening.
We are investing in programs that promote family support for breast cancer patients help alleviate family demands, improve cultural competence, and improve provider accessibility (longer hours and patient navigation). Investing in these programs has the ability to better health outcomes in the community.
Komen Greater NYC also invests in health systems for comprehensive health insurance, funds for low cost and free breast care, and the creation of equipped multi-modal breast care facilities. These will allow New Yorkers to receive care where they live, instead of venturing outside their community, especially when transportation is a barrier.
