CHE Consensus Statements


CHE Partners on why they value our work
 

Breast Cancer Working Group

CHE’s Breast Cancer Working Group was formed in 2005 as a subdivision of the CHE Cancer Working Group. This active but smaller group explores the relationship between environmental exposures and breast cancer, and has recently developed the 2006 Consensus Statement on Breast Cancer and the Environment.

We meet once a quarter for an hour via conference call with additional emails between calls. The group has a listserv where new research and policy ideas are distributed.  This working group is coordinated by both Michael Lerner, President of Commonweal, and Jeanne Rizzo, RN, Executive Director of Breast Cancer Fund. For more information about this group, Jeanne Rizzo at Jeanne@BreastCancerFund.org or Julia Varshavsky, CHE Program Associate, at Julia@HealthandEnvironment.org.

If you are interested in joining this group, please sign on as a CHE Partner, and indicate your interest in your application. If you are already a CHE Partner and would like to join the listserv for this group send an email request to: chebrcancer-subscribe@lists.healthandenvironment.org.
