Health Quest at Taconic Crossing Receives CEO Cancer Gold Standard Accreditation

CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The CEO Roundtable on Cancer recently accredited Health Quest at Taconic Crossing in LaGrange, NY, with the CEO Cancer Gold Standard recognizing the organization’s efforts to reduce the risk of cancer for their employees and covered family members by promoting healthy lifestyle choices, encouraging early detection through cancer screenings and ensuring access to quality treatment.

Today, more than three million employees and family members are benefiting from the vision and leadership of the more than 120 employers like Health Quest who have chosen to become Gold Standard accredited.

Christopher A. Viehbacher, chief executive officer of Sanofi, chairs the CEO Roundtable on Cancer, the nonprofit organization of cancer-fighting CEOs who created the CEO Cancer Gold Standard, in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, many of its designated cancer centers, and leading health non-profit organizations and professionals.

“We are pleased to recognize the efforts of Health Quest and their dedication to health care that begins with improving the health and wellness of their own employees,” said Christopher A. Viehbacher, CEO of Sanofi.

The CEO Cancer Gold Standard calls for organizations to evaluate their health benefits and corporate culture and take extensive, concrete actions in five key areas of health and wellness to fight cancer in the workplace. To earn Gold Standard accreditation, a company must establish programs to reduce cancer risk by discouraging tobacco use; encouraging physical activity; promoting healthy diet and nutrition; detecting cancer at its earliest stages; and providing access to quality care, including participation in clinical trials.

In addition to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), twelve NCI-designated cancer centers and more than twenty-five hospitals and medical centers have earned Gold Standard accreditation. CEOs from across industries are keenly aware of the tremendous impact they can have in improving health, controlling health care costs and making a difference beyond their organization’s walls in the fight against cancer and other chronic diseases. Other Gold Standard employers include insurers like Aetna, Cigna, State Farm and several Blue Cross affiliates; law firms, such as Hogan Lovells and Jenner + Block; technology companies such as Dell and SAS Institute; and a range of leading employers including American Century Investments, Johnson & Johnson and Lowe’s.

About The CEO Roundtable on Cancer

The CEO Roundtable on Cancer was founded in 2001, when former President George H.W. Bush challenged a group of executives to "do something bold and venturesome about cancer within your own corporate families." The CEOs responded by creating and encouraging the widespread adoption of the CEO Cancer Gold Standard which calls for organizations to evaluate their health benefits and workplace culture and take extensive, concrete actions in five key areas of health and wellness to fight cancer in the workplace.

Article Directory :: Health & Fitness Articles

For some people, when they get a diagnosis of cancer, they become completely hopeless. However, if you are recieving more information and learning more about the disease, you don't have to feel this lack of hope as you will know that there are ways to promote better results from treatment, including a healthier lifestyle. The advice about cancer in this article will give you a great deal of information you could be wondering about.

Once you receive your cancer diagnosis, learn everything about your form of the disease and your course of treatment as you can. Write down questions before you visit the doctor and ask him. You can even bring a friend or family member along with you to help ensure that you remember what is being said.

Be prepared to make new "friends" when you have cancer; i.e. people you have to let into your life with open arms. These people include oncologists, nurses, chemo specialists, and anyone who can assist you, empathize and help with what you are going through. You cannot do this alone, so be prepared to let people in your life.

You need to follow a workout regimen if you have been diagnosed with cancer. It is important to keep your body as strong as possible, so that it can hold up against the treatments that it is going to have to go through. Simply walking around your block a few times, can be a great start to living a healthier lifestyle.

Cancer

Many, many people have gone through cancer, even as survivors themselves or through someone they love. So you can find plenty of moral support via live groups, online chat rooms and forums, and other areas. You can even start a group and speak with people who are going through the same thing you are.

If you are being treated for cancer, be sure to keep all of the follow up appointments with your doctor. Even if you start to feel like you're improving, it is still necessary to continue treatment. Effective cancer treatment often comes in steps, and every step must be completed to see full success.

Cancer Cure

Watch out for cancer treatment scams. After being diagnosed with cancer, you may feel desperate to try any treatment you can find. However, you should be careful and fully research any treatment method you are considering. If a cancer "cure" sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Discuss and research the treatment with a reputable doctor or government agency before deciding on any treatment. There are proven natural cures available that some doctors and the government will not recognize. Get more information!

Prevent Cancer

Berries can be a very strong ally if you are trying to prevent contracting cancer. A wide assortment of berries like raspberries, blueberries and strawberries are full of anthocyanidins, phytochemicals, and other phenolic compounds that have cancer-fighting properties and antioxidant powers. Something as simple as a berry can help prevent cancer.

To help prevent cancer, drink pomegranate juice daily. Pomegranate juice contains a valuable mix of isoflavones, polyphenols, and ellagic acid which some believe are anti cancer ingredients. It has been proven to have a positive effect on prostate cancer in some laboratory animals. Pomegranate just might boost your own body's defenses against cancer and keep you healthy.

You don't have to feel like there is no hope if you have been diagnosed with cancer, or even if a loved one has. Whether you have a need for a health care provider or treatment team that is more comprehensive, or if you decide that you would like to develop healthier habits, start with these cancer tips and learn all you can about the disease.
