An accomplished pharmacy professional, Ellen Scharaga has held leadership positions with pharmacy companies such as OncoMed and Alegria Specialty Infusion and Pain Pharmacy, where she now serves as an operational consultant. Ellen Scharaga is also committed to giving back to others through her support of nonprofit organizations such as the American Cancer Society. Founded by a group of 15 people in 1913, ACS initially served to spread awareness of a disease that was, at the time, a source of dread and shame. In the more than a century since its founding, ACS has emerged as the world’s leading organization devoted to policy advocacy, medical research, and treatment support for individuals with cancer in all its forms. As part of ACS’ commitment to ending cancer, it has launched an awareness initiative about the dangers of tobacco, which accounts for a large percentage of cancer incidence and costs the global economy more than $2 trillion per year. Since 2002, ACS has published the Tobacco Atlas, an informative report and accompanying website that lists facts and figures about tobacco usage and related research. The most recent edition of the Tobacco Atlas is the sixth, and it includes insights into the relationship between cigarettes and mental health, recommendations for government policies to reduce tobacco use among the population, and more.
