Rock Your Health
Rock Your Health is the Medgar Evers College brand that is part of Going for Gold, an extension of the CEO Cancer Gold Standard® employer accreditation to recognize universities that champion health and well-being by advancing prevention, diagnosis, and quality treatment for cancer for their students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and communities.
The initiative also enables universities to contribute to research efforts through CEO Roundtable’s Project Data Sphere®, which helps expand access to clinical trial research and offers an open-access digital platform for aggregating and analyzing data to advance health equity efforts.
Empowering Health Partnerships
Targeting 27 four-year Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) with 60%+ Hispanic enrollment and all 101 U.S. HBCUs, this initiative highlights 50 HBCUs with robust health programs. It opens doors for partnerships in clinical trials, health education, and community outreach.
