Prevention Matters

Investment analyst and financial journalist Liz Peek has pointed to Partnership for Prevention and its "Leading by Example" initiative as an example of how corporations can "pitch in with gusto to solve America's big problems."

"... Corporations should start providing answers to our country's healthcare crisis," Peek said in a July 22 column entitled "Memo to Corporate America: Wake Up!"

"Companies like Caterpillar and Deere are part of an initiative called Partnership for Prevention, which works to promote employee wellness," she wrote. "These efforts are smart, produce excellent public relations, strong employee ties and simultaneously support the bottom line."
