CHS, Staples to Discuss Preparedness Plans for a Pandemic

VIENNA, VA – October 12, 2006 – Comprehensive Health Services (CHS), a nationwide occupational health and wellness services company, today announced that Dr. Bill Wanago, CHS Chief Medical Officer, and Tara Santry, VP, Staples, will present a panel session on November 2 at Sourcing Leadership 2006, the Sourcing Interests Group’s 30th semi-annual conference. Together they will discuss “Corporate Wellness - Is Your Supply Preparedness Plan Ready for a Pandemic?”

“We’re honored to detail the unique business continuity risks to the leading corporate executives and top sourcing advisors attending this important conference,” said Dr. Wanago. “It is crucial to understand risks such as avian flu when operating any business today. Enterprises need to update their Business Continuity Management (BCM) plans to deal with emergency response, crisis management and business recovery. We’ll present how this can be done.”

Dr. Wanago continued that due to its sudden nature, universal impact, number of people it might affect and effect on national infrastructure, a serious outbreak of avian flu will stress the use of BCM plans. Participants will benefit from learning government/industry regulations and issues, supply chain issues, lessons learned from SARS and prior pandemics, what to do before and upon an outbreak of an escalating pandemic, challenges for your company, and challenges for the Health Care System.

The session, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2, will be held at the Sourcing Leadership 2006 at the Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage, CA. The conference will feature workshops, leading-edge panel discussions and presentations, covering advanced sourcing strategies, lessons learned, and the “how to” of the world of sourcing.
