Carmen Swain of the Center for Personalized Health Care, and program director of the Physical Activity and Educational Services Health and Exercise Science Labs in Life at COSI, participated in a story about cancer prevention. The “Female Focus” segment on WBNS featured ONE GOAL, a study seeking to prevent cancer in women who have a family history of breast, colon or endometrial cancer by improving their physical wellness. Participants are eligible to receive a free body composition assessment, a comprehensive physical fitness test, and a personalized consultation, which includes a review of test results and stresses the importance of physical activity in the reduction of cancer risk. This coverage resulted from pitching efforts and a news release, available on the Web at: http://medicalcenter.osu.edu/mediaroom/releases/Pages/Ohio-State-Launches-Studies-to-Motivate,-Prevent-Cancer-in-High-Risk-Groups.aspx.
