Women's health programs at the workplace.
Women-specific health issues are important to corporations because a large population of their work force are women. To address this issue, First Chicago provides the following innovative programs: prenatal education during work hours ("ABC's of Healthy Childbearing," "Early Pre-Natal Care," "Nutrition and Exercise in Pregnancy," "Pregnancy after Thirty"); gynecologic examinations and consultations at the work site (Pap smears and breast examinations for early cancer screenings); seminars teaching breast self-examinations and prevention of osteoporosis; mandatory second opinions to reduce unnecessary obstetric and gynecologic procedures. These programs provide cost-effective health care, and contribute to the good health of employees.
