The CEO Roundtable on Cancer, a nonprofit organization of CEOs,
founded by former President George H.W. Bush, developed and administers
the Gold Standard, an employee wellness accreditation program
that addresses cancer in the workplace. Nearly 200 private, nonprofit
and government employers in a wide range of occupational categories have
earned Gold Standard accreditation, including the National Cancer
Institute (NCI) and a number of NCI-designated cancer centers.

continues to provide the programs and policies that keep our employees

earliest stages, access to quality care, and participation in clinical
trials; promote employee awareness of these initiatives; and support the
