Executive Summary
Board of directors authorizes 1995 campaign at its Dec. 8 meeting in New York City. The fourth year of the campaign will feature "HealthMatters" booklets on steps to prevent or detect diseases and on research into potential therapeutics. The first three specific diseases to be addressed are heart attacks, breast cancer and stroke: the heart attack booklet is scheduled for release in February. The booklets will be distributed, in part, as inserts in Newsweek, Reader's Digest and Time, with ads about the booklets in U.S. News, Smithsonian, Scientific American, The New York Times Magazine and New Yorker. TV ads announcing the availability of the brochures will appear on CNN and other national cable networks, PhRMA says.
