The CEO Cancer Gold Standard™ is a free workplace wellness accreditation program designed to encourage healthy behaviors and improve health outcomes for employees by promoting prevention measures, encouraging early detection through cancer screenings, and ensuring access to quality care.
To earn Gold Standard accreditation, an employer must establish programs to reduce cancer risk by taking concrete actions in five key areas known as the Five Pillars:
Pillar #1 Prevention
- Tobacco-Free Workplace
- Nutrition
- Physical Activity
- Healthy Weight
- Vaccines
Pillar #2 Screening
Pillar #3 Cancer Clinical Trials
Pillar #4 Quality Treatment and Survivorship
Pillar #5 Health Education and Health Promotion
By focusing on risk reduction, early detection and quality care, the Gold Standard program can help save the lives of employees and curb operational costs.
