CAM PPO Background
Preventive Medicine Group and AdvoCare Inc. have been doing business with Parker
Hannifin for over 20 years collectively. When Parker Hannifin initiated a plan to
include medical coverage for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) services
under its self-insured benefit plan, Preventive Medicine Group and AdvoCare Inc.
joined together to launch CAM PPO of America, Inc., a non-risk-assuming PPO. The
incisive leadership of Parker Hannifin executives, recognizing the value added for
employees through the increased availability CAM treatment options, fostered the
groundwork of CAM PPO of America, Inc. This organization was created to build a
credentialed provider network to accommodate the growing demand for CAM services.
Our goal is to guide and encourage the use of CAM services through the Network,
and to make it available to other employers.

Small Choice, Big Results
The average piece of food travels more than 1,000 miles to get from where it is produced to your table. Food bought from a local source is fresher, which means it will probably taste better, but more importantly will have more nutritional value. Following the seasonal availability of vegetables and fruits can also alleviate cost while helping broaden the variety of produce you consume. Sustainable agriculture varies from factory farming in many ways, and eating locally helps small farmers and the local economy, gets people involved in the community, and benefits the environment by decreasing 'food mileage.' Visit Organic Consumers Association, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, or Local Harvest for more information on local and organic foods.
