MSK Direct Launches Personalized Website, Creates Unique COVID-19 Cancer Guide for NYCDCC Welfare Fund Participants

May 4, 2020

Since September 1, 2019, the New York City District Council of Carpenters (“NYCDCC”) Welfare Fund, through a partnership with MSK Direct, has been providing participants an opportunity to receive special access to cancer care from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which is universally recognized as one of the top cancer treatment centers in the country. Additionally, through collaboration with MSK Direct, the Fund Office has proudly spearheaded multiple cancer awareness campaigns, including campaigns related to breast cancer and colon cancer. Now, as our partnership with MSK Direct continues to grow, we have even more great news to announce… MSK Direct has just created a personalized website and a COVID-19 Cancer Guide just for you!

New MSK Direct Website for NYCDCC Welfare Fund Participants

MSK Direct has officially launched a website for NYCDCC Welfare Fund participants and their family members. The website features health empowerment resources, including prevention guidance and screening information, across the cancer spectrum. It also shares details about the MSK Direct program and allows participants to schedule appointments online. You can learn more by visiting the website at www.mskcc.org/nycdcc or by calling MSK Direct’s dedicated phone line for the NYCDCC Welfare Fund at (833) 786-3368 or (646) 449-1541.
