Chief Finance and Strategy Officer Kael Reicin joined a panel discussion focused on the evolving cost of corporate benefits at the CNBC CFO Council Summit in Washington, D.C., this week. The panel discussed how rising healthcare costs are increasing pressure on employers, employees, and companies' bottom lines. Kael, pictured above at far right, underscored the importance of early detection and prevention in keeping the cost of cancer treatment down and urged employers to make cancer screening a priority in the workplace and help reduce any barriers to screening they may be facing.

The CNBC CFO Council is a members-only council that provides peer-to-peer connections, and convenes to address pressing issues facing Chief Financial Officers today.

The other panelists were Ochsner Health Vice President, CFO, and Treasurer Jim Molloy, pictured above in the middle, and Pacific Life CFO Vibhu Sharma, pictured above, second from left. The moderator was CNBC Correspondent Megan Cassella, pictured above at far left.
