An experienced pharmacy professional, Ellen Scharaga has served with Alegria Specialty Pharmacy as an operational consultant since 2014. In her work, Ellen Scharaga often collaborates with other organizations, including the American Cancer Society (ACS). According to a recent report highlighted by ACS, the advances in screening and treatment of cancer may not be accessible to a significant portion of the public without interventions in the American healthcare system. Over a 24-year period (1991-2015), the death rate from cancer significantly fell in the United States, but that improvement depended upon the socio-economic status of patients. Today, many cancers that can be effectively treated or prevented go unchecked because of the lack of patients' access to adequate health care and screenings. Health systems must be transformed in a way that addresses these challenges. People from all backgrounds should have ready access to primary care providers through affordable healthcare plans. Further, primary care providers should be able to communicate with specialists and other providers in a more streamlined manner. In addition, all providers should be educating their patients on healthy lifestyle habits.
