MARY BIRD PERKINS CANCER CENTER SPOTLIGHTS MMR EMPLOYEE CHARLES JOHNSON IN BLOG FEATURE BATON ROUGE, La.—Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center spotlighted MMR employee Charles Johnson in its latest blog feature, “Curbing Cancer with Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center: How MMR Group Prioritizes Employee Health.” Through its corporate partnership with Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, MMR has provided skin cancer screenings free of charge to employees, where Johnson received his diagnoses. The company has seen several employees take advantage of workplace screenings, some of whom received follow-up treatments and services based on their results. This was the case for Charles Johnson, MMR facility operations team member, who was diagnosed with skin cancer after his screening. “If this opportunity hadn’t been available, I probably would never have gone to see a doctor,” Charles said. “If I had known how bad it was getting, I wouldn’t have waited so long.” Charles has had surgeries to successfully remove multiple cancerous spots on his skin that were found during two separate screenings over several years. “I would highly recommend other companies offer this service to their employees,” Charles Johnson said. “Not everyone has time to go somewhere for screenings. Mary Bird Perkins comes straight to you, and they lead you in the right direction.”
