Olympic champion Shannon Miller knows what it takes to face extraordinary challenges. But her battle with cancer revealed a different kind of challenge: the gap between medical treatment and the everyday support patients and their families need to navigate life during and after a diagnosis.
In this conversation, Shannon, Founder and CEO of Salto Health, shares how her cancer journey inspired her to rethink patient support and create a registry model that empowers people to ask for the specific help they need. She discusses the often-overlooked financial and emotional burdens of cancer, why asking for help can be so difficult, and how the discipline and resilience she developed as an elite athlete helped her through treatment.
Now 15 years cancer-free, Shannon reflects on survivorship, the importance of early detection, and the power of advocating for your own health. Her message is a reminder that cancer care must go beyond the clinic, and that sometimes, the most meaningful support begins with understanding what someone truly needs.
