The American Cancer Society’s Workplace Solutions – HelpING Local Employers their Workers save money and Live Healthier Lives

Health care costs are rising every year.  Through Workplace Solutions, the American Cancer Society works with businesses to help reduce those costs by helping their employees make healthful lifestyle choices.  The American Cancer Society’s Westchester Professionals Against Cancer volunteers are committed to minimizing the impact of cancer in the workplace by bringing wellness programs to local businesses.  Workplace Solutions include Quitline^® to help employees quit smoking; Active for Life Online to promote physical fitness; Get Your Screen Test to encourage early detection cancer early; and www.fightcancer.org, a one-stop health information source. 

Poor health habits take a toll on the bottom line.  Research has shown that smokers are absent from work and average 6.5 days per year more than nonsmokers.  The cost of overweight and obesity in this country is more than a hundred billion dollars.
