Open letter • May 20, 2026Within Reach: Our commitment to reaching EVERY PATIENT POSSIBLE with cancer

In oncology, decisions don’t fit neatly into one domain. They span an ever-shifting environment, where tensions between systems, society, and science converge, creating barriers where patients fall through the cracks. But among that complexity lies an untapped opportunity to bring every patient within reach.

And that’s where we come in. Not because we say the right things, but because we do the right work. We talk like oncologists. We think alongside patients. And we bring stakeholder voices — especially those that too often go unheard — into the center of the conversation.

Across Avalere Health, more than 500 oncology experts move powerfully as one. We have united to create this Within Reach anthology to explore the uncomfortable issues in cancer care. To have the tough conversations and uncover where tensions emerge, so we can reveal new approaches that ensure innovations become therapies that transform care.

Our Advisory, Medical, and Marketing capabilities come together at the moments that make a difference. We look at challenges from every angle across the product lifecycle, leveraging our strategic SenseMaking approach to move beyond assumptions and deliver outcomes that truly matter. For you, that means clearer decisions, made faster. For patients, it means more access, stronger support, and better care.

What makes us different is simple: we infuse the patient voice into everything we do. In this Within Reach anthology and through what we do every day, we explore the real experiences of treatment and care, including the complexities, the trade-offs, and the human realities, to ensure strategies are grounded in what truly counts.

Our ambition is bold and straightforward: to help you reach more patients, more effectively, at the moments that define success. Because we are united by one profound purpose: to reach EVERY PATIENT POSSIBLE.

Healthcare should never be a barrier. And no patient should be left behind. If you’re navigating high-stakes oncology decisions and looking for a partner who understands the science, the systems, and the human story—we’re ready. The future of cancer care is within reach.

Let’s bring every oncology patient within reach.

Yours sincerely,

Amar Urhekar
