“I am excited to join the Board of Directors of DetecTogether, an organization that is making a difference in the fight against cancer by empowering people,” said McCarty. “People need to be educated about the signs and symptoms of cancer, motivated to pay attention to their own health changes, and empowered to ask questions and make decisions with their physicians. DetecTogether is showing people how, and I am honored to take on a leadership role as we look to expand our impact.”
