For the second year in a row, we’re proud to provide free access to GRAIL's multi-cancer early detection test, Galleri, to active-duty and veteran special operations service members receiving care through Home Base, in collaboration with Mass General Brigham’s Cancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic. We made the announcement last week during Home Base’s annual “Helping Veterans Heal” telethon with WCVB Channel 5, where a number of our colleagues came together to help answer calls and share our mission to help people live longer, healthier, better lives. We also donated $25,000 to Home Base, a nonprofit dedicated to healing the invisible wounds of war for veterans and their families, to support their continued efforts.

To honor those who served on this Veterans Day, we gathered colleagues and partners at our Boston headquarters — including our friends at Home Base, a nonprofit dedicated to healing the invisible wounds of war. We also unveiled a special piece of history: the last American flag to fly on the USS Hancock, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier decommissioned nearly 50 years ago. The ship was named after John Hancock in recognition of our company’s role in raising bonds for its construction in the 1930s. We will proudly display this flag as a symbol of support for veterans and the military community.

Wellness starts long before symptoms show up. Proactive support means being ready — mind, body, and coverage. John Hancock believes in investing in your health from the very beginning. MLINY091525183-1
