The Sicatoka Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The CEO Cancer Gold Standard, calls for companies to evaluate their benefits and culture and take extensive, concrete actions in five key areas of health and wellness to fight cancer in the workplace. To earn accreditation, a company must establish programs to reduce cancer risk by discouraging tobacco use; encouraging physical activity; promoting a healthy diet; providing appropriate screening to detect cancer at its earliest stages and providing access to quality care, including cancer clinical trials. .... Joining PhRMA in this workplace-based effort to eliminate cancer as a public health threat are: American Cancer Society, American Legacy Foundation, AstraZeneca, C-Change, Duke Medicine, Edelman, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline, Jenner & Block, Johnson & Johnson, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Novartis, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Quintiles Transnational, SAS Institute, The University of North Dakota and Valeant Pharmaceuticals. http://www.reuters.com/article/pressReleas...2008+BW20080109 Doesn't seem too bad of a crew to hang with.
