In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Longview Regional Medical Center’s Healthy Woman program recently hosted its second annual Pink Out event at Dillard’s Lingerie Department in the Longview Mall.
The free event was open to the community of all ages.
“The Healthy Woman Program provides this free event to the community to heighten breast cancer awareness and educate not only women but also men on this important matter,” said Elizabeth Baumgardner, Marketing and Healthy Woman Coordinator for Longview Regional Medical Center.
“Part of being a healthy woman is the commitment to take care of yourself and also educate other women on health related issues. The Pink Out event was not only but also a very valuable time to gain a knowledge on every aspect of Breast Health,” said Beverly Rutland, Healthy Woman Advisory Council Member.
