"We are excited to launch Health Matters at Work; it is the first learning and giving program of its kind," said Pam Haberstroh, President and CEO. "We developed Health Matters at Work because we believe good health is vital for a thriving workplace and for the entire community."

Health Matters at Work coordinates charitable giving and health education for businesses, and also provides volunteer opportunities through member charities for employees. The program is beneficial to the entire community. Employees benefit because they learn detailed information about a variety of health issues. Employees are also given the opportunity to make a difference in their community by electing to volunteer and financially support CHC-NCA member charities. Employers prosper because employees are healthier, happier and more productive. CHC-NCA member charities win because they serve their missions by actively promoting the detection, prevention and management of illness.
