Metametrix Bestows 2011 Donation to Environmental Working Group

DULUTH (Jan. 13, 2012) – Metametirx Clinical Laboratory has made a donation to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) on behalf of the Laboratory’s most dedicated clients. The contribution demonstrates the shared commitment of Metametrix and EWG “to use the power of public information to protect public health and the environment,” as well as the laboratory’s appreciation of its devoted client base. The holiday donation from Metametrix, made on December 23, 2011, was doubled by an anonymous philanthropic contributor, further fulfilling EWG’s year-end fundraising objective.

“Throughout the year, our clients entrusted us as a valued partner in the treatment of their patients,” says Carolyn Bralley, President of Metametrix. “So instead of gifting them with a predictable basket of holiday treats, we felt that a donation to the Environmental Working Group was a better way to honor our clients’ steadfast commitment to improving the lives of their patients,” Bralley declared. The EWG works diligently to protect the environment and those who are most vulnerable to environmental toxicity. The group has been instrumental in such causes as raising public awareness on pesticides in produce, cosmetic safety and banning BPA in canned and bottled foods. Metametrix is equally committed to educating the public on the harmful effects of toxic exposure, evident by their testing profiles, published white papers and interactive learning tools like www.everydayexposures.com.

Metametrix Clinical Laboratory is an industry leader in producing innovative, Next Generation Technologies for measuring nutritional insufficiencies, metabolic dysfunction, microbial imbalances and toxic influences on health. Metametrix is committed to applying the latest advances in testing services to improve health worldwide. More information about Metametrix is available at www.metametrix.com.

Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a nonprofit research organization that uses the power of information to protect human health and the environment. EWG’s organizational goals are to protect the most vulnerable segments of the population from health problems attributed to toxic contaminants, to replace federal policies with policies that invest in conservation and sustainable development and to provide the tools needed to help make product purchase decisions easier for individuals and families.
