CBSA Helps Launch We Work For Health Initiative in Colorado

Denver, CO, March 20, 2009 – The Colorado BioScience Association (CBSA) is partnering with twenty-six national and state entities to announce the ‘We Work For Health’ (WWFH) initiative in Colorado. The announcement is made by John Collar, CBSA President & CEO, who says the new group’s launch event – Saving Lives, Creating Jobs -- occurs today at University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. U.S. Senator Michael Bennet is the special guest speaker via satellite from Washington.

“The Colorado BioScience Association is absolutely thrilled to be a partner in the We Work For Health initiative in the state,” Collar says. “The United States, and our state in particular, has been a world leader in bioscience innovation and discovery over the years. Further, our universities and bioscience companies create thousands of high-paying jobs, and Colorado discoveries are integral in the fight to cure cancer and other illnesses. Today’s event is only first of many for the new initiative in our state.”
