Health management requires everyone's help
Recent state and national coverage of medical advances and disease-management programs have raised the public's awareness of the need for effective health management. As a business owner, I know that having a healthy work force is critical. At Asheboro Elastics, we need healthy people.
That's why I am so dedicated to helping North Carolina find new ways to encourage "health care" as opposed to "sick care" for our citizens. Asheboro Elastics has created and implemented programs to help our employees to better manage chronic disease and their general health, since we all know that disease can rob us of our ability to live long, happy and productive lives.
There are many ways that every person in our state can get involved in making a difference. I encourage every member of our community to begin by joining me in being active in the North Carolina Coalition for Healthy Solutions. This coalition is collecting data for an economic impact study that will help us understand the cost of disease compared to the cost of prevention and management. We need your input now. Please visit www.ncchs.net to find out how you can help.

Ah, yes, Keith Crisco of the mass-produced lard Criscos. Attempting to atone for the sins of the fathers, even as he continues to profit from America's expanding waistlines at Asheboro Elastics. The ironies are delicious.
