Longitude Health Unveils Second Video on Overcoming Cancer
Guided Health and Wellness Website Inspires Cancer Survivors and Invites Public Participation

SOMERSET, NJ--(Marketwire - December 18, 2008) - Longitude Health, Inc.
(www.longitudehealth.com), provider of web-based, guided health and
wellness solutions for mid-size, self-insured companies, today announced
part-two of its video series titled, Overcoming Cancer. The inspirational,
mini documentary chronicles breast cancer survivor Jackie O'Rouke's daily
struggles living with cancer and is provided as a free health resource on
MyHealthVillage.com -- an
online health and wellness portal owned and operated by Longitude Health.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that in January 2004 approximately
2.4 million women were living with breast cancer. Most of these women were
cancer-free, while others with evidence of cancer were undergoing
treatment.
Dr. Jan Swaney, co-founder of MyHealthVillage.com, underscores
the invaluable resource these videos provide: "Internet searches are one of
the primary steps cancer victims take to gather all relevant information
soon after being diagnosed. Finding and connecting with other individuals
living with similar illnesses has proven to dramatically improve the
healing process."
The second video highlights O'Rouke's dramatic changing perspective on life
-- no longer taking "things for granted." She strongly recommends keeping a
daily journal as "the safe place," where thoughts and fears can be
expressed and stresses the importance of family support and the enriching
factors of surviving cancer.
